If the engine is ON : the engine will turn OFF. REMOTE-STARTING REMOTE-STARTING THE VEHICLE This Remote-Starter supports both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. For manual transmis-sion vehicles see the Ready Mode section. REMOTE-STARTINGSTEP1 To remote-start the vehicle press the START button for approximately 3 second.STEP 2 The parking lights will turn on to indicate a response to the Remote-Start signal.STEP 3 Approximately 5 seconds later the engine will crank. Once the vehicle starts the parking lights will turn on and remain on for the entire duration of the Remote-Starter runtime, or until the Remote-Starter is shut down.If the vehicle fails to start on the  rst attempt, the Remote-Starter will wait 3 seconds before it will attempt to start the vehicle again. The Remote-Starter will attempt to start the vehicle 2 times (de-fault) before giving up. (See Failed Remote Start page 10) ACCESSORY PRESET Heater & Heated Seat(s): When leaving the vehicle it is recommended that the driver pre-set the climate controls in preparation for a later Remote-Start. When the vehicle Remote-Starts, the current (or last) setting for the climate controls, windshield wipers (and other accessories) will be used. When setting the blower motor (fan speed) and heated seats (if equipped) should not be left on HIGH. It is recom-mended to leave these settings on either a LOW or MEDIUM setting. Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights: Some vehicles require the radio, windshield wiper, 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 turned off. Leaving the headlights on with some vehicles could cause them to remain on even after the Remote-Starter has shut down, resulting in a dead battery. Rear Defrost: On most vehicles the Rear Defrost can only be activated after the vehicle has been started and in most cases this feature is not included with a Remote-Starter installation. On some vehicles it may be possible for the installer to hook this feature up so it either automatically enables after Remote-Start or can be enabled by using an AUX output. Driver Presets: Some vehicles retain different seat, mirror and radio settings for each driver. Different driver presets are not controlled by the Remote-Starter, however they may be controlled with the By-pass/Interface Kit.
Page 5 / 12 READY MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY) Two activation methods are possible, please consult the salesman or installer to determine which of these modes applies to your vehicle. There are always safety concerns for a manual transmission vehicle to accidentally start while in gear, Ready Mode alleviates these concerns. The driver must enable Ready Mode in order to Remote-Start the vehicle at a later time. Once Ready Mode is set-up the vehicle can be started/stopped at will, as many times as needed. However once the parking brake is disengaged, the hood is opened, or any of the doors are opened, Ready Mode will deactivate and the vehicle will not start until Ready Mode is reactivated. METHOD 1PROGRAMMED BY DEFAULT THIS METHOD WILL ACTIVATE THE REMOTE CAR STARTER SEQUENCE ONLY WHEN THE END USER IS USING THE REMOTE CAR STARTER REMOTE:The vehicle must be running. STEP 1 and Make sure that all doors are closed and the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position. STEP 2 Engage the parking brake. STEP 3 Release the brake pedal. STEP 4 Press the START button for 3 seconds. The parking lights will  ash once and then remain on. STEP 5 OFF Remove the key from the ignition barrel. The vehicle will remain running with the Remote-Starter. STEP 6 Exit the vehicle and close all of the doors. The Remote-Starter will stop running once all the doors are closed.METHOD 2 This method must be programmed by the installer during installation. THIS METHOD WILL ACTIVATE THE REMOTE STARTER SEQUENCE EVERYTIME THE END USER IS LEAVING THE VEHICLE.AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION:The vehicle must be running.STEP 1Make sure the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position.STEP 2Engage the parking brake.STEP 3Release the brake pedal.STEP 4 OFFRemove the key from the ignition barrel. The engine will shut down and the vehicle will be ready to start at any time.STEP 5 Exit the vehicle and close all of the doors.The Remote-Starter will stop running once all the doors are closed.The vehicle is ready to start. Open any door to cancel Ready Mode and start over the sequence from step 1.
Page 6 / 12TO DEACTIVATE READY MODE: •Open any door(s) • Open the hood • Disengage of the parking brake Note : If the parking lights  ash 3 times when Remote-Starting, Ready Mode is not enabled. DRIVING OFFWhen the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter, enter the vehicle and proceed with the following steps:STEP 1IGNSTARTOFFInsert the key and turn it to the ignition (ON/Run) position.WARNING: Do not turn the key to the START position when the engine is running. This may damage the ignition system on some vehicles.STEP 2 Step on the brake pedal to disable the Remote-Starter, and put the vehicle in gear. CANCELLING A REMOTE START See USING THE REMOTE CONTROL, page 4 REMOTE-STARTER FEATURES IDLE MODE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) Idle Mode allows the vehicle to run without the key in the ignition barrel. For example, if you stop for a quick errand or delivery, simply allow the vehicle to run while you are gone. The engine will run until the Remote-Starter runtime expires. Press START any time the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter to reset this timer. To activate Idle Mode (automatic transmission) proceed with the following steps:STEP 1 With the key in the barrel at the ignition (ON/RUN) position and the engine running, press the START button until the parking lights turn on.STEP 2 OFF Turn the key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition barrel. The vehicle will continue to run with the Remote-Starter.The engine will continue to run until either the remote stop function is pressed (see USING THE RE-MOTE CONTROL, page 4), the Remote-Starter runtime expires, the parking brake is disengaged, the brake is pressed, or the hood is opened. If the Remote-Starter is shut down by transmitter it will automatically go in to Ready Mode (if all the doors are closed). WARNING : Never leave children or animals in a Remote-Started vehicle unattended. I DLE MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) Idle mode is activated in much the same way Ready Mode is activated, except for Step 1. To activate Idle Mode (manual transmission) proceed with the following steps: STEP 1 Ensure the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position.STEP 2Open at least one door.STEP 3 Engage the parking brake.
Page 7 / 12STEP 4 Release the brake pedal. STEP 2 Engage the parking brake.STEP 3 Release the brake pedal. STEP 4 Press the remote START button 3 seconds. The parking lights will  ash once and then remain on. STEP 5 OFF Remove the key from the ignition barrel. The vehicle will continue to run with the the Remote-Starter.STEP 6 Exit the vehicle and close all of the doors. The vehicle will continue to run after all the doors are closed.STEP 7 Press the remote START button 3 seconds to cancel remote start sequence.The engine will continue to run until either the remote stop function is pressed (see USING THE RE-MOTE CONTROL, page 4), the Remote-Starter runtime expires, the parking brake is disengaged, the brake is pressed, or the hood is opened. If the Remote-Starter is shut down by transmitter it will automatically go in to Ready Mode (if all the doors are closed). WARNING : Never leave children or animals in a Remote-Started vehicle unattended. TURBO MODE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) Turbo Mode (if installed) is similar to Idle Mode but is used to cool down the turbo-charger once the driver leaves the vehicle. The Remote-Starter will continue run the vehicle for 2 minutes allowing the turbo-charger to cool down. To activate Turbo Mode (automatic transmission) proceed with the follow-ing steps:STEP 1 With the engine already running, press the remote START button until the parking lights come on. STEP 2 OFF Remove the key from the ignition barrel. The vehicle will continue to run with the the Remote-Starter.STEP 3 Exit the vehicle and close all of the doors. The vehicle will continue to run after all the doors are closed.STEP 4 Press the button 2 times 0.5 seconds to lock the doors. The vehicle will continue to run for 60 seconds. TURBO MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) Turbo Mode (if installed) is similar to Idle Mode but is used to cool down the turbo-charger once the driver leaves the vehicle. The Remote-Starter will continue run the vehicle for 2 minutes allowing the turbo-charger to cool down. To activate Turbo Mode (manual transmission) proceed with the following steps: See IDLE MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) page 6. V ALET MODE (VIA SWITCH) / VALET CODINGValet Mode disables both the Remote-Starter and Alarm system. Whenever the vehicle is being serviced or repaired, or the vehicle is parked indoors it is mandatory that Valet Mode be enabled to prevent an accidental Remote-Start. Note: The alarm system is not active (including Starter Kill) when the system is in Valet Mode. However
Page 8 / 12you are still able to lock and unlock the doors, and release the rear hatch/trunk.Note: When the Remote-Starter/Alarm is in Valet Mode, the LED will stay ON solid instead of  ashing after the doors are locked. The LED will turn off only after the Remote-Starter/Alarm exit Valet Mode.The valet mode can be programmed to use a coded entry in order to increase the security of your alarm system and to prevent accidents. By default, the valet button is pressed 3 times after turning the igni-tion. Function 30 can be programmed to use a coded value instead of the default one. VALET CODING DISBALED (DEFAULT):To activate and deactivate Valet Mode using the valet switch proceed with the following steps: STEP 1IGNSTARTOFFInsert the key and turn it to the ignition (ON/RUN) position. The vehicle does not need to be started.STEP 23XFMH2-WWithin 10 seconds press and release the button on the antenna 3 times. STEP 3FMH2-WValet mode enabled: The LED is ON Valet mode disabled: The LED is OFF REMOTE STARTING OPTIONS CONFIGURABLE FONCTIONALITY DURING INSTALLATION This Remote-Starter is designed to be highly  exible when integrating into original equipment (OEM). With the following programmable options the Remote-Starter/Alarm can control most electronic sys-tems within the vehicle. WARNING: This Remote-Starter must be installed by a trained professional. Improper modi cations to any of the following settings could adversely affect the reliability of the Remote-Starter and/or the vehicle’s operation. Confi gurable Options:- Remote Door Locks - Active or Passive Arming - Ignition Door Locks - Security Lock - Trunk/Hatch Release - Runtime - Runtime Reset - Secure Transmitter Mode REMOTE DOOR LOCKS If the Remote-Starter is installed with door locks, you will be able to lock and unlock the vehicle without using the key or OEM key fob. To UNLOCK the doors and DISARM the Alarm: Press the button twice for 0.5 sec-ond. The parking lights will  ash twice and the LED will turn OFF to con rm the signal. The Starter-Kill will also deactivate allowing the vehicle to be started with the key. If UNLOCK is pressed again (consecutively) the horn will honk twice (if installed) to con rm. Note: The system can be con gured during installation so the horn con rms UNLOCK on the  rst attempt.
Page 9 / 12 To LOCK the doors and ARM the Alarm: Press the button for 0.5 second. The parking light will  ash once and the LED will turn ON to con rm the signal. The Starter-Kill will activate preventing the vehicle from being started with the key. If LOCK is pressed again (consecutively) the horn will honk once (if installed) to con rm. Note: The system can be con gured during installation so the horn con rms LOCK on the  rst attempt. ACTIVE OR PASSIVE ARMING Passive Mode will allow the Alarm to automatically rearm itself 60 seconds after it is disarmed if no door(s) (or trunk) are open(ed). Opening a door before the 60 seconds has expired will reset the timer but will also prevent the Alarm from locking the doors. This option is enabled by default and the Alarm will never arm as long as at least one door is left open. When this feature is disabled the Alarm is con-sidered to be in Active Mode which requires the remote transmitter to arm the Alarm. Note: The automatic rearm can be deactivated by executing UNLOCK function two times. IGNITION DOOR LOCKS Ignition Door Locks is an automatic passenger safety feature. When enabled the Remote-Starter/Alarm will automatically LOCK the vehicles doors once the key is turned to the ignition (ON/RUN) position and the brake pedal is pressed. The Remote-Starter/Alarm will also automatically UNLOCK the vehicles doors once the key is turned to the OFF position. RUNTIME On gas engines the Remote-Starter can run the vehicle for either 3, 7 or 15 (default) minutes. On diesel engines the Remote-Starter can run the vehicle for either 6, 15 or 30 (default) minutes. ALARM AUDIBLE CONFIRMATION By default the Alarm will not send an audible con rmation (horn/siren) after the  rst signal has been received from the remote transmitter(s).SILENT : Execute the function one times (lock or unlock), the park lights will  ash, but the horn/siren will NOT con rm the signal.AUDIBLE : Execute le function two times (lock or unlock), the park lights will  ash, and the horn/siren will con rm the signal. The Alarm can be programmed to audibly con rm the signal on the  rst button press. (See Installation Guide). ALARM ACTIVITY The following characteristics enhance your vehicle’s security : If the Alarm system is active and the horn/siren is sounding : •Execute the UNLOCK function ONCE to stop the alarm sound. The Alarm will remain active and will immediately resound if a zone is (re)triggered. •Execute the UNLOCK function TWICE to stop the alarm sound, deactivate the Alarm, and unlock the doors. •When the vehicle is unlocked the horn/siren will sound with several short chirps to indicate the zone that has previously triggered the Alarm. (See Remote-Start/Alarm Diagnostics page 11) NOTE 1: If the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter and the Alarm is triggered the Remote-Starter will shut down immediately. This applies to Cold Start, Turbo and Idle Modes. However the vehicle can be Remote-Started at a later time (i.e. The Alarm will not cancel Cold Start Timer). NOTE 2: When an alarm infraction has occurred the LED on the antenna will quickly  ash 3 times followed of
Page 10 / 12a long pause. It will continue to  ash until the alarm is disabled. OPEN ZONE NOTIFICATION When the LOCK function is executed to ARM the Alarm (non Valet Mode), it will indicate if there are any zones which are currently active. The Alarm will sound with several short chirps to indicate which zone is active. A silent ARM or only 1 chirp indicates that no zones are currently active. (See Remote-Starter/Alarm Diagnostics page 11) FALSE ALARM DEACTIVATION This option will disable any zone that triggers the alarm 3 consecutive times. The zone will automati-cally re-enable once the LOCK or the UNLOCK function are executed. SHOCK SENSOR (ZONE 4) The Alarm system supports FSS2Z (2 stage - 3 wire) Shock Sensors. The Shock Sensor will produce a short audible warning on a weak shock, and will trigger a full alarm on a strong shock. Whenever the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter the shock sensor is ignored until the Remote-Starter shuts down. However the Alarm can be set to monitor the Shock Sensor if the vehicle is Armed AFTER the vehicle is Remote-Started. TRANSMITTER RANGE Several factors may affect the operating range of the remote transmitter: •A weak transmitter battery. •The operating environment such as in the city and airports due to radio interference, cell phone towers, etc… •Several types of metal such as the vehicle itself, other vehicles, the windshields tint lines and large buildings. •The vehicle’s shape. Vans generally have poorer range. •The shape of the vehicle’s roof and the A-pillars cause considerable radio-frequency de ection. As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing with relation to the remote transmitter can affect range. Facing the front of the vehicle generally produces the greatest range; secondly facing the back. Facing either side of the vehicle will usually give the poorest range. •The range will be signi cantly poorer in crowded parking lots as opposed to empty parking lots. •Hold the transmitter at shoulder height or hold it against your chin so your body acts as a larger antenna. •The operating range will be somewhat poorer on vehicles equipped with a factory alarm or key-less entry system. FAILED REMOTE-START There are several different installation factors and devices that must work together in order for your vehicle to Remote-Start properly. In some cases a failed Remote Start is not the fault of the Remote-Starter itself. Here are some things to consider when the Remote-Starter fails. •Unmaintained Engine. If you have problems starting the vehicle with the key then the Remote-Starter will have the same dif culty. •Low Battery. A battery’s voltage can drop to less than 4 volts DC (1/3 of the original) during cold weather starting. Ensure your battery is working properly and is able to provide the proper current needed to start the vehicle in extreme temperatures. •Low Fuel, or water in the fuel tank. Keep your fuel tank full as much as possible to prevent the build-up of condensation in the tank.. •A corroded or broken Hood Pin switch. Visually inspect the hood pin switch frequently. Cover with a dialectic grease to prevent corrosion. •Trailer wiring. Corroded or improperly wired trailer wiring may cause the park light signal to bleed into the brake signal. This will cause the Remote-Starter to shut down as soon as the park lights are turned on. •Problems with the Bypass Kit (if installed). If you are able to put the Remote-Starter into Ready Mode, Idle Mode, or Turbo Mode, but you are unable to Remote-Start the vehicle then the Bypass
Page 11 / 12Kit may be failing. Several Remote-Start attempts with a failed Bypass Kit may lock your vehicle for several hours. •Dash warning lights. The dash should display in exactly the same way when either starting the vehicle with the key, or with the Remote-Starter. If the dash displays any warning lights (Check Engine, ABS, or Theft) once Remote-Started then something is wrong. Stop using the Remote-Starter and have it looked at immediately.TIP: If your vehicle is experiencing any problems either starting or running with the key have it looked at by the Remote-Starter’s installer  rst. Having the vehicle worked on by another service centre may void any warranty and/or guarantees on the Remote-Starter and its Installation. Additionally the original installation centre may refuse all fees incurred by the latter service centre (if any).
