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
P.8 User Guide them to remain ON even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead battery. Arming and disarming the starter kill (if installed) This added security feature will prevent the vehicle from starting with the Ignition key when the starter kill is armed. If the system was installed with the starter kill option, the vehicle will not be able to start with the key unless the system has been unlocked first or put into Valet Mode (page 13). Note: If the Starter Kill is installed, the 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. The Starter Kill (if installed) can be configured by the installer either to Passive Mode (so as to arm automatically) or Active Mode (so as to require the user’s intervention for arming). By default, the Remote Car Starter is configured to Passive Mode. Passive Mode: To arm the Starter Kill:  Press the button on the transmitter. OR  Let the Starter Kill arm automatically 1 minute (by default) or 3 minutes (if configured this way) after the ignition is turned OFF or once the last door is closed (if the doors are monitored). The parking lights will flash once.  The LED on the antenna will flash quickly during the countdown preceding the activation of the Starter Kill.  Once the activation countdown expires, the LED will send a series of quick double flashes to indicate that the Starter Kill is now armed. To disarm the Starter Kill:  Press the button on the transmitter.  The Starter Kill will automatically rearm itself after 1 minute (by default) or 3 minutes (if configured this way) if no door is left opened (if the doors are monitored) and the ignition is not turned ON.
User Guide P.9 Active Mode: To arm the Starter Kill:  Press the button on the transmitter.  The parking lights will flash once.  The LED on the antenna will flash slowly.  If remote door locks are installed, this will also lock the doors and arm the OEM-style alarm (if configured). To disarm the Starter Kill:  Press the button on the transmitter.  The parking lights will flash twice.  The LED on the antenna will remain OFF.  If remote door locks are installed, this will also unlock the doors and disarm the OEM-style alarm (if configured).

User Guide P.27 Troubleshooting Poor 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.

User Guide P.29 Battery Replacement The transmitter is powered by two lithium cells (CRXXXX). When the transmitter stops functioning, replace the batteries. 1. Release the lock on the battery cover. 2. Remove the battery cover. 3. Remove the old batteries. 4. Install two new lithium batteries (CRXXXX) into the transmitter with the positive (+) mark toward the battery cover. 5. Install the battery cover and lock it. 6. Push the lock button on the transmitter. The buzzer should sound indicating that the batteries are installed properly. NOTE: do not install old and new batteries together.
