INDUSTRY CANADA USER NOTICE
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
required for successful communication.

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.

Advanced Features: Installation-
programmable Options
The remote car starter was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind.
With its programmable 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 Car
Starter.
Ignition-controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with

unlocked and opened (then closed) the next time the brake pedal is pressed
(only when doors are monitored). When the key is turned to the OFF position, the
doors will automatically be unlocked.
Secure Lock
(Disabled by default.) Before your vehicle can be remote-started, the factory
security system must first be disarmed. 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 is
started. Once the engine is shut down by remote or after its runtime has expired,

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.
