User Guide
A note concerning the battery inside the transmitter:
Depending on your usage of the transmitter, the battery can last anywhere between 3 to 6 months.
When the battery is low, the transmitter will produce two beeps in a repetitive cycle. At that point
you should replace your battery with a new one. That is why we recommend that you keep a
spare battery somewhere handy such as the glove compartment.

Introduction
This is a state-of-the-art remote starter system. The system is packed with advanced features such
as priority access to the driver’s door (commodity features) and the safe start children safety
feature. With many an advanced function, this product will satisfy any one of your expectations
from high-end commodity and security systems, without neglecting any standard feature commonly
offered by entry-level starters.
Using the Transmitter
Your remote starter is equipped with a 5-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate two
independent vehicles equipped with identical remote starters (see Multi-car operation section on
page 7).
Remote-Starting Your Vehicle
Press the START/STOP button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON to inform you
that the remote starter has received your signal. Approximately 5 seconds later, the engine will
start. The parking lights will remain ON during the pre-programmed run time of the engine. If the
vehicle does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds and try to
start the engine again. There will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up.
Vehicle Presets (
Heater & Heated Seat
)
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as heated seats (if
equipped) should not be left on HIGH. It is recommended to leave the settings on LOW or MEDIUM
instead.
Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wiper and / or headlight circuits to become
energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the
windshield wiper and headlight switches are OFF. Leaving the headlight switch ON on certain types
of vehicles could cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead
battery.
Driving Off
With the vehicle running under remote control, press the UNLOCK button to disarm and unlock the
doors. Enter the vehicle and do the following:
Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position. (Do not turn the key to the CRANK position
while the engine is running. This would cause the starter motor to re-engage.)
Press the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter unit.
You are now ready to drive off.

The engine will go on running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of the
engine run time .
Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode.
Turbo Mode
If turbo mode is configured at installation, it will allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user
leaves the vehicle: the unit will take over the vehicle and keep it running for 60 seconds (or until it
is shut down by remote control), then shut down the engine.
Proceed as follows to set the system to Turbo Mode:
1. With the engine already running, press the LOCK button on the transmitter until the parking lights
come ON.
2. Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. The engine will go on running.

Advanced Features: Installation-programmable Options
The remote starter was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. With its program-
mable options, this unit can single-handedly control nearly any electrical system in your vehicle.
Caution: The programming of your system should be left to a professional. Changing any
one of the settings may affect the operation of your remote starter.
The installation-programmable options are as follows:
• Remote Door Locks
• Priority Door Access
• Passive or Active Arming
• Starter Kill / Anti-grind feature
• Horn Chirp Timing
• Safe Start
• Home Valet TM
• Ignition-controlled door locks
• Ignition Re-lock
• Secure Lock
• Turbo Mode
• Remote Trunk Release
• Engine Run Time
Remote Door Locks
If your remote starter was installed with the remote door locks option, you will have the
convenience of remote keyless entry. See section Arming and Disarming the Remote Starter, on
page 3, for further instructions on remote door locking and unlocking.
Priority Door Access
If the remote door locks option is installed on your vehicle, this safety feature allows you unlock
solely the driver’s door with a single press of the UNLOCK button on the transmitter; upon a second
press of the UNLOCK button, all the other doors will unlock.
Active or Passive Arming
The starter kill can be configured either to passive mode (so as to arm automatically) or active
mode (so as to require user intervention for arming). By default, your remote starter is configured to
passive mode. In passive mode, the starter kill will automatically arm 60 seconds after the last door
is closed. The remote starter will not arm if a door is left open, or if you re-open a door within the
60-second delay.
Important note: When the remote starter re-arms automatically, you can disarm the When
the remote starter by simply pressing the UNLOCK button.
P. 6 User Guide
The Starter Kill and the Anti-grind Feature
With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition
key when the starter kill is armed. If your remote starter was installed with the starter kill option,
one will not be able to start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked and
disarmed first, or put into valet mode.
Note: If the starter kill is installed, your vehicle will benefit from a protection against starter
motor damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force of
habit, turn the ignition key to the CRANK position.
Flashing LED
The user may decide to turn on or off LED flashing at any moment. To do so, simultaneously press
and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter. There will be an initial beep. Keep
holding the buttons pressed until you hear another beep. At that point release the buttons. The
LED will toggle to its next state –i.e.: ON/OFF:
There are three programmable options regarding the flashing LED:
i. The LED flashes once the starter kill is activated (passive or active arming) and will
turn itself off once the user turns the key to the IGNITION ON position.
ii. The LED is totally disabled and will not flash –it will turn on solid, however, when in
valet mode.
iii. The LED will flash once the starter kill is activated but requires pressing the UNLOCK
button to turn itself off. Failure to press the UNLOCK button will make the LED flash
even if the key is in the IGNITION ON position.
Safe Start
If this feature is enabled, the user must press the START/STOP button 2 times within 3 seconds to
remote-start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing
with the transmitter.
If swap start mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle, press the FUNCTION button and then the
LOCK button. The AUX 2 output can be activated by pressing the START/STOP button.
Home Valet TM
If this feature is installed, the user will have the possibility to remotely set the vehicle to a no-
remote-start mode. See home valet section, on page 4, for full instructions.
Ignition-Controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your remote starter was installed with the ignition-controlled
door locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the OFF position,
the doors will automatically be unlocked.
Ignition Re-lock
On remote starters of this series, when ignition-controlled door locks are enabled and the ignition
key is in the IGNITION ON (RUN) position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors will be
relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed.
Secure Lock
Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the remote starter must first disarm the factory security
system. The secure lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory security
systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed. To keep your
vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start, secure lock will
relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle ends, secure lock
will rearm your factory security system.
Turbo Mode
When left in turbo mode, the remote starter will keep the engine running for 60 seconds before
shutting it down. This is to allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the vehicle. See
Turbo Mode section on page 3.
Remote Trunk Release
If your system was installed with the Remote Trunk Release option, you can open your trunk by
pressing the TRUNK button for 3 seconds on the remote transmitter or by pressing the TRUNK button
TWICE within 3 seconds.
User Guide P. 7
Engine Run Time
If you have a gas engine, your remote starter can be programmed to run the engine for 4, 15, or
25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the remote starter can be
programmed to run the engine for 9, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default).
Extended Run Time
While the vehicle is running under a remote start, pressing and holding the START/STOP button
for more than 3 seconds will reset the run time counter to zero and restart the run time cycle from
the beginning. There will be one beep a pause three more beeps; the parking lights will flash
three times and the horn (if configured) will honk once. The extended run time procedure can
only be carried out once per remote start.
To stop the vehicle, at any moment, simply press the START/STOP button.
Example: If your remote car starter is programmed for a run time of 4 minutes and your vehicle
has been running for 3 minutes already, pressing the START/STOP button will reset the
counter to zero and allow the engine to run for another cycle (in this case, 4 minutes).
Multi-car Operation
This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with the same remote starter model, to
control both systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle:
Note: Your remote control must be configured for second car operation by the installer.

Troubleshooting Transmitting Range
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
• The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers…)
• Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
• The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor
range.
• The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this
case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing
in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the
vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back.
Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range.
• The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
• Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter
against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
• The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory
alarm.
The functions of the transmitter are as follows:
P. 8 User Guide
• Pressing and holding the LOCK button for more than 3 seconds will lock all doors and will send a
constant pulse as long as the LOCK button is held down (maximum of 15 seconds). This
constant pulse can be configured to activate certain functionalities such as rolling up the
windows – Please refer to your installer to see if your vehicle is compatible with this
option.
• Pressing and holding the UNLOCK button for more than 3 seconds will unlock all doors and will
send a constant pulse as long as the UNLOCK button is held down (maximum of 15 seconds).
This constant pulse can be configured to activate certain functionalities such as rolling down the
windows – Please refer to your installer to see if your vehicle is compatible with this
option.
LCD Remote Functions
The transmitter offers several command-confirmation and timer features. This section explains
some of the key functions available. The next section gives a summary of the button combinations
used to access the functions.
Note: If you wish to exit a function while still in the process of accessing it, simply stop and wait at
least 10 seconds: the transmitter will return to its normal state.
