Vehicle Presets
Heater
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, 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
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

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

or (if the doors are unlocked).
The status request feature is a two-step procedure:
The first sequence of flashes denotes if the vehicle’s doors are locked
or unlocked.
User Guide P.25
The second sequence of flashes (if applicable) denotes if the vehicle is
Cold Weather mode, Home valet mode, or, Valet mode.

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.
