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 on page 9).
The functions of the transmitter are as follows:
Picture serves as example only.
For certain vehicles:
•Pressing and holding the LOCK button for more than 3 seconds will lock all doors and will send a
constant pulse as long as the LOCK button is held down (maximum of 15 seconds). This
constant pulse can be configured to activate certain functionalities such as rolling up the
windows – Please refer to your installer to see if your vehicle is compatible with this
option.
•Pressing and holding the UNLOCK button for more than 3 seconds will unlock all doors and will
send a constant pulse as long as the UNLOCK button is held down (maximum of 15 seconds).
This constant pulse can be configured to activate certain functionalities such as rolling down the
windows – Please refer to your installer to see if your vehicle is compatible with this
option.
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.

that the remote starter has received your signal. Approximately 5 seconds later, the engine will
start. The parking lights will remain ON during the pre-programmed run time of the engine.
If the vehicle does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds and
try to start the engine again. There will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up.

Remote Starter Features
Idle Mode

locked while you stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery.
This feature allows you to let the remote starter take over control of the vehicle (i.e. no key in the
ignition switch) while the engine is running. For example, if you stop for a delivery or at a conveni-
ence store, lock your vehicle and leave it running for the length of a run cycle while you are away.
To leave the vehicle in idle mode:
1. With the engine running, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button (to unlock the doors) or the
START/STOP button on the remote control until the parking lights come on.
2. Remove the key and exit the vehicle. The engine will go on running.
3. Lock the doors if needed.
The engine will go on running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of the
engine run time.
Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode.

Advanced Features: Installation-programmable Options
The remote starter was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. With its program-
mable 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 starter.
Remote Door Locks
If your remote starter was installed with the remote door locks option, you will have the
convenience of remote keyless entry. See section Arming the Starter Kill, on page 4, for further
instructions on remote door locking and unlocking.
Priority Door Access
If the remote door locks option is installed on your vehicle, this safety feature allows you unlock
solely the driver’s door with a single press of the UNLOCK button on the transmitter; upon a second
press of the UNLOCK button, all the other doors will unlock.
Ignition-Controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your remote starter was installed with the ignition-controlled
door locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the OFF position,
the doors will automatically be unlocked.
Ignition Re-lock
On remote starters of this series, when ignition-controlled door locks are enabled and the ignition
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.

P. 8 User Guide
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.
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 has started. Once the engine run cycle
ends, secure lock will rearm your factory security system.
Remote Trunk Release
If your system was installed with the remote trunk release option, you can open your trunk by
pressing the TRUNK button. There will be one beep and LED #3 will flash 3 times.
The Starter Kill and the Anti-grind Feature
With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition
key when the starter kill is armed. If your remote starter was installed with the starter kill option,
one will not be able to start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked and
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.
Safe Start
If this feature is enabled, the user must press the START/STOP button 2 times within 3 seconds to
remote-start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing
with the transmitter.
If swap start mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle, press the SHIFT button and then the
LOCK button. The AUX 2 output can be activated by pressing the START/STOP button.

mode. The parking lights will:
1- Turn ON then OFF; then
2- Flash twice, pause; then
3- Flash twice again.
Turbo Mode
If turbo mode is configured at installation, it will allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user
leaves the vehicle: the unit will take over the vehicle and keep it running for 60 seconds (or until it
is shut down by remote control), then shut down the engine.
Proceed as follows to set the system to Turbo Mode:
1. With the engine already running, press the LOCK button on the transmitter until the parking lights
come ON.
2. Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. The engine will go on running.
3. Exit the vehicle and close the door.

Engine Run Time
If you have a gas engine, your remote starter can be programmed to run the engine for 3, 15, or
25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the remote starter can be
programmed to run the engine for 8, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default).
Flashing LED
The user may decide to turn on or off LED flashing at any moment. To do so, simultaneously press
and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter. There will be an initial beep. Keep
holding the buttons pressed until you hear another beep. At that point release the buttons. The
LED will toggle to its next state –i.e.: ON/OFF:
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 UNLOCK
button to turn itself off. Failure to press the UNLOCK button will make the LED flash
even if the key is in the IGNITION ON position.
Multi-car Operation
This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with the same remote starter model, to
control both systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle:
