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 advanced functions, this product will satisfy any of your expectations from high-end commodity and security systems, without neglecting any standard feature commonly offered by entry-level starters. 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.

P. 8 User Guide Setting Your Vehicle Into Ready Mode If your vehicle has a manual transmission you must read the following instructions. In order to start the vehicle by remote, the unit must first be set to Ready Mode. If the unit is not set to Ready Mode, it cannot remote-start the vehicle. Once the system is set to Ready Mode, the vehicle can be remote-started and stopped at wish. To set the system to Ready Mode: 1. Ensure that all the doors are closed and that the shifter is in the NEUTRAL position. 2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake and release the brake pedal. Make sure to release the brake pedal. 3. Within 20 sec. press LOCK, UNLOCK or START/STOP on the transmitter. The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit. 4. Remove the key: the engine will go on running. 5. Exit the vehicle and close the door. 6. Press and hold either: a. LOCK to lock the doors and shut down the engine; b. UNLOCK to unlock the doors and shut down the engine; c. START/STOP to shut down the engine without affecting the doors. 7. The icon will appear on your screen. Remaining In Ready Mode Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can start and stop the vehicle at wish. However, should any of the following occur, the vehicle will exit Ready Mode – thus eliminating the remote start option until Ready Mode is restored: • Door opened; • Hood opened; • Brake pedal pressed; • Parking brake disengaged; • Ignition key turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position. Note: The unit will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving 3 slow flashes (parking lights). Remote starting Press the button for approximately 1 second. The LCD will display “START” with the backlight ON for 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. If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, there will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up. Driving Off With the vehicle running under remote control, press the 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.

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.
P. 20 User Guide • 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.
