WARNING
It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure their vehicle
is parked in a safe and responsible manner.
1. a) Manual transmission: When leaving the vehicle, it is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that the gearshift lever is in the NEUTRAL
position and the parking brake is engaged in order to avoid accidents
upon remote starting.
b) Automatic transmission: When leaving the vehicle, it is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that the gearshift lever is in “Park” in order to
avoid accidents upon remote starting.
(Note: Make sure that the automatic vehicle cannot start in "Drive".)
2. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the remote starter is disabled
or put into valet mode before servicing.
A note concerning the battery inside the transmitter:
Depending on your usage of the transmitter, the battery can last anywhere between 3 to 6 months. When the
battery is low, the transmitter will produce two beeps in a repetitive cycle. At that point you should replace
your battery with a new one. That is why we recommend that you keep a spare battery somewhere handy
such as the glove compartment.

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 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 them to remain ON even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead
battery.
Using the Remote Control
Your remote car starter is equipped with a 6-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate
two independent vehicles equipped with a remote car starter.

solely the driver’s door with a single press of the button on the transmitter; upon a second press
of the button, all the other doors will unlock.

P. 10 User Guide
Ignition-Controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your remote starter was installed with the ignition-controlled

key is in the IGNITION ON (RUN) position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors will be
relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed.
Secure Lock
Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the remote starter must first disarm the factory security
system. 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.

disarmed first, or put into valet mode.
Note: If the starter kill is installed, your 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.

There are three programmable options regarding the flashing LED:
i. The LED flashes once the starter kill is activated (passive or active arming) and will
turn itself off once the user turns the key to the IGNITION ON position.
ii. The LED is totally disabled and will not flash –it will turn on solid, however, when in
valet mode.
iii. The LED will flash once the starter kill is activated but requires pressing the
button to turn itself off. Failure to press the button will make the LED flash even if
the key is in the IGNITION ON position.
iv. Starter kill ON / Alarm OFF: the LED will keep flashing twice quickly until the OEM
alarm is armed. Once the OEM alarm is armed, it will flash at a slower rate.

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.
Intrusion Codes through Chirps
•If there has been an intrusion in the vehicle while it was locked and armed, the OEM alarm
will provide in intrusion code matching the type of intrusion that took place. Disarm the alarm
(UNLOCK) to identify the intrusion.
