REMOTE-STARTING
REMOTE-STARTING THE VEHICLE
This Remote-Starter supports both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. For manual transmission
vehicles see the Ready Mode section.
REMOTE-STARTING
STEP 1 To remote-start the vehicle press the START button for approximately 3 second.
STEP 2 The parking lights will turn on to indicate a response to the Remote-Start sig-
nal.
STEP 3
Approximately 5 seconds later the engine will crank. Once the vehicle starts the
parking lights will turn on and remain on for the entire duration of the Remote-
Starter runtime, or until the Remote-Starter is shut down.
Page 4 / 14

If the vehicle fails to start on the rst attempt, the Remote-Starter will wait 3 seconds be-
fore it will attempt to start the vehicle again. The Remote-Starter will attempt to start the
vehicle 2 times (default) before giving up. (See Failed Remote Start page 13)
ACCESSORY PRESET
Heater & Heated Seat(s): When leaving the vehicle it is recommended that the driver pre-set the
climate controls in preparation for a later Remote-Start. When the vehicle Remote-Starts, the
current (or last) setting for the climate controls, windshield wipers (and other accessories) will be
used. When setting the blower motor (fan speed) and heated seats (if equipped) should not be
left on HIGH. It is recommended to leave these settings on either a LOW or MEDIUM setting.
Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights: Some vehicles require the radio, windshield wiper,
headlight circuits to become energized while running under Remote-Start. When leaving the ve-
hicle you must ensure that the windshield wiper and headlight switches are turned off. Leaving
the headlights on with some vehicles could cause them to remain on even after the Remote-Starter
has shut down, resulting in a dead battery.
Rear Defrost: On most vehicles the Rear Defrost can only be activated after the vehicle has been
started and in most cases this feature is not included with a Remote-Starter installation. On
some vehicles it may be possible for the installer to hook this feature up so it either automatical-
ly enables after Remote-Start or can be enabled by using an AUX output. (See Auxiliary Outputs
page 10).
Driver Presets: Some vehicles retain different seat, mirror and radio settings for each driver.
Different driver presets are not controlled by the Remote-Starter, however they may be controlled
with the Bypass/Interface Kit.
READY MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY)
Two activation methods are possible, please consult the salesman or installer to determine which of these
modes applies to your vehicle.
There are always safety concerns for a manual transmission vehicle to accidentally start while in gear, Ready
Mode alleviates these concerns. The driver must enable Ready Mode in order to Remote-Start the vehicle at
a later time. Once Ready Mode is set-up the vehicle can be started/stopped at will, as many times as needed.
However once the parking brake is disengaged, the hood is opened, or any of the doors are opened, Ready
Mode will deactivate and the vehicle will not start until Ready Mode is reactivated.
