User Guide P. 3 Using the Remote Control Your remote starter is equipped with a 5-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate two independent vehicles equipped with a remote starter (see Multi-Car Operation section, later in this Guide, for second-car transmitter functions). The functions of the transmitter are as follows: 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. Windshield Wipers, Radio & Headlights Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wipers and / or headlights circuits to become energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the windshield wipers and headlights switches are OFF. Leaving the headlights switch ON on certain types of vehicles could cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shutdown, resulting in a dead battery. Arming the Starter Kill 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 LOCK button on the transmitter, OR • In Passive Mode, the Starter Kill will also automatically arm 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 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.

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 vehicle itself. • The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well (vans in general have less 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. • The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory alarm.
