OPERATIONOPERATION
REMOTE ENGINE STARTING - SUCCESSFUL START:
1. Press start button for at least one second, then release.
2. Parking lights flash once, then turn ON along with the IGN/ACC circuits
3. After a few seconds the Starter Motor engages. (Parking lights and Acc
circuits turn off while cranking.)
4. Engine Starts and Runs. Parking Lights and Acc turn back on.
5. Engine will remain running for programmed run time or until reset with
Brake pedal.
REMOTE ENGINE STARTING - UNSUCCESSFUL START
In the event that the engine does not start on the first attempt, the system
shuts down for a few seconds, and then attempts to restart the engine a 2nd
and 3rd time. For hard starting engines, the unit will allow a starter crank time
of up to a maximum of 13 seconds. This should provide ample cranking time
for difficult starts, but is limited to help prevent damage to the starter from over cranking in the case of a problem with the
system.
1. If engine starts on 2nd or 3rd attempt, see steps 4 & 5 above of "Successful Start".
2. If Third attempt fails to start engine the system will abort. NO FURTHER ATTEMPTS WILL BE MADE
AUTOMATICALLY
TURNING OFF A REMOTE STARTED ENGINE:
1. Engine is running in Remote Start (Parking lights are ON).
2. Press start button for at least one second and release.
3. Engine and parking lights turn off.
VALET MODE
Before servicing your vehicle or handing the keys over to a Valet we recommend putting the unit into valet mode. The
remote start function WILL NOT operate when in Valet mode. To enter Valet mode, turn the key to the ON position,
press and hold Program/Valet switch for 6 seconds. The LED will turn on solid and the system is now in valet. Perform
this procedure again to exit of Valet mode.
HOOD OPEN SAFETY SWITCH (WITH INSTALLED HOOD PIN SWITCH)
A safety hood pin switch (when installed along with the remote start system) helps eliminate the risk of injury to someone
working under the hood. If will prevents the engine from being remote started while the hood is open. It will also abort a
remote started engine.

OPERATION
ANTI-GRIND / STARTER DISABLE (OPTIONAL)
Prevents the driver from accidentally grinding the starter if the Ignition key is turned too far (to the start position) while
engine is already running from the remote starter.
BRAKE PEDAL RESET CIRCUITRY
Prevents starting or shuts off a remote started vehicle when this circuit is active or activated. Prevents unauthorized
tampering. This circuit shuts the system down immediately when brake pedal is pressed if key is not in ignition and
turned to the run position.
LED (OPTIONAL)
The optional LED (if installed) is used as a indicator for Valet mode and also lights solid during programming options.
NOTE:
In the event of a malfunction, jumpstarting or performing electrical service you should remove the main Power Fuses.
TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING
Note: All transmitter codes must be learned at time of programming!! The RS800 allows storage of up to 4
different transmitter codes.
1. Open Hood (Ground Gray hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed).
2. Turn key to the ON position.
3. Press Programming button 4 times. After a few seconds, the unit will flash the parking lights 4 times.
4. Press the Start Button of the transmitter to be coded. You should get 2 light flashes indicating the unit is waiting for a
2nd code, then press start button of a second transmitter, the unit will flash 3 times indicating its waiting for the 3rd
code and 4 flashes for the 4th code. If all 4 codes are learned, the unit will automatically exit code-learning mode,
otherwise turn key off and close hood.
