System State Press/Release Press/Hold for 3 sec.
ENGINE OFF START ENGINE CAR FINDER
ENGINE ON UNLOCK DOORS STOP ENGINE
Start Engine
When the engine is OFF, press and release the remote control button to
start the engine.
See"Using Remote Start" on page 3 for more feature details.
Unlock Doors
When the engine is ON, press and release the remote control but-ton.
The doors unlock, the parking lights flash, the horn sounds (if con-nected) as
confirmation.

and labor.
Stop Engine
When the engine is ON, press and hold the remote control button for three
seconds. The engine stops running and the parking lights turn off.
Car Finder
When the engine is OFF, press and hold the remote control button for three
seconds. The parking lights flash slowly several times allowing you to
locate your vehicle.

Using Remote Start
This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for a
programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up the
engine, and adjust the interior temperature of the vehicle with the cli-
mate control system. If interior heating or cooling is desired, the climate
controls must be preset, and the fan blower must be set to the desired
level prior to remote starting the vehicle.
Important! (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle
in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the key
in the ignition.
Starting the Engine:
1. Make sure the parking brake is set. Press and release the remote
control button once* (or the amount of times the system has been
programmed to activate the remote start).
2. The parking lights flash to confirm that the vehicle is attempting to
start. In gasoline vehicles the engine will start approximately four
seconds after the parking lights flash, in diesel vehicles the engine
starts after the WTS (WAIT-TO-START) timer has expired.
3. Once the vehicle has started, it will run for the pre-programmed
period of time (12, 24, or 60 minutes) or until a shutdown input
is triggered.
*The factory setting is one press but this can also be programmed for
two or three presses maximum (see your authorized Directed installer
for the amount of presses programmed).
Record the number of presses to activate remote start here:

If the engine fails to start, refer to "Disabling the Remote Start System"
and "Remote Start Diagnostics" sections of this guide.
Warning! It is unsafe to operate a vehicle's motor in a
garage or other closed off area. Such operation can
create a buildup of harmful gas. Breathing the exhaust
from the vehicle is hazardous and may lead to injury
or death.

authorized dealer.
Optional Rear Defogger
If connected, the Defogger circuit automatically activates after remote
starting the vehicle.
Note: The optional rear defogger feature can be programmed to be

on during remote start by your installer, however, you do not have the
capability to turn on and off the feature at will with the 1-button remote.
The rear defogger will always be active during the remote start runtime.
Optional Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry
This system includes an anti-grind circuit that can prevent damage to
the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position while the remote
start is ON.
Note: Anti-grind circuitry only works if an optional relay has been add-
ed and the remote start system is operating the motor.
Disabling the Remote Start System/Garage Mode
Garage Mode is a safety feature that disables the remote start system if
the vehicle is parked in a garage, being serviced, or used by someone
unfamiliar with remote start systems.
When Garage Mode is ON, any attempt to start the engine, activate
Timer Mode, or enter Pit Stop mode is denied, and remote start diag-
nostics flashes the parking lights nine times.
Turn Garage Mode ON or OFF:
1. Turn the ignition on then off.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Valet button once.
3. The parking lights flash:
• Nine times quickly when turning on.
• Nine times slowly when turning off.
Remote Start Diagnostics

configuration issues. If the remote start fails to activate, refer to the table
below for the command type and parking light flashes that will identify
the configuration issue and solution.
