INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Remote-Starter/Alarm system. This is a state of the art Remote-
Starter/Security-System including numerous new comfort and security features, and all of the
elementary features generally offered with most basic Remote-Starter systems.There are certain
features listed in this manual that may not be available for your system. There may also be features
listed in this manual that require additional installation or programming before they are active.In
order to truly enjoy the benefits of this system, we recommend that you
thoroughly review the following manual.
This system contains transmitter(s) and a receiver with 750m/2500ft range.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

3
WARNING
•Do not start the vehicle indoors (garage, underground parking).
•Do not remote-start the vehicle with a passenger inside.
•When servicing the vehicle enable VALET MODE (ÆSee Page 6).
NOTE
• The system can be configured in three different ways: Remote Start only, alarm only or alarm and
remote starter.
• The options vary by vehicle, the components can be added to the system and the functions on the
vehicle.
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
ÉTAPE 1
To remote-start the vehicle press the START button for
approximately 1 second.
ÉTAPE 2
The parking lights will turn on to indicate a response to the Remote
-
Start signal.
ÉTAPE 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.
If the vehicle fails to start on the first attempt, the Remote-Starter will wait 3 seconds before 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 p.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 vehicle 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 automatically enables after
Remote-Start or can be enabled by using an AUX output. (See Auxiliary Outputs p.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 setup 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

4
the doors are opened, Ready Mode will deactivate and the vehicle will not start until Ready Mode is
reactivated.
METHOD 1 ACTIVATION :
STEP 1
and
Make sure that all doors are closed and the transmission
is in the NEUTRAL position.
STEP 2 Engage the parking brake.
STEP 3
Release the brake pedal.
STEP 4 Within 20 seconds push the START button.
The parking lights will flash once and then remain on.
STEP 5
Remove the key from the ignition barrel.
The vehicle will remain running with the Remote-Starter.
STEP 6 Exit the vehicle and close all of the doors.
The Remote-Starter will stop running once all the doors are
closed.
STEP 7
Lock the doors by pushing the LOCK button.
METHOD 2 This method must be enabled by the installer during installation.
ACTIVATION:
STEP 1
Make sure the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position.
STEP 2
Engage the parking brake.
STEP 3
Release the brake pedal.
STEP 4
Remove the key from the ignition barrel. The engine will
shut down and the vehicle will be ready to start at any
time.
STEP 5 Exit the vehicle and close all of the doors.
The Remote-Starter will stop running once all the doors
are closed.
The vehicle is ready to start. Open any door to cancel Ready Mode and re-begin the
sequence from step 1.
TO DEACTIVATE READY MODE:
• Open any door(s) • Open the hood • Disengage of the parking brake
Note : If the parking lights flash 3 times when Remote-Starting, Ready Mode is not enabled.
DRIVING OFF
When the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter, enter the vehicle and proceed with the following
steps:
STEP 1
Insert the key and turn it to the ignition (ON/Run) position.
WARNING: Do not turn the key to the START position when the
engine is running. This may damage the ignition system on some
vehicles.
STEP 2
Step on the brake pedal to disable the Remote-Starter,
and put the vehicle in gear.

REMOTE STARTING OPTIONS
CONFIGURABLE FONCTIONALITY DURING INSTALLATION
This Remote-Starter is designed to be highly flexible when integrating into original equipment (OEM).
With the following programmable options the Remote-Starter/Alarm can control most electronic
systems within the vehicle.
WARNING: This Remote-Starter must be installed by a trained professional. Improper
modifications to any of the following settings could adversely affect the reliability of the Remote-Starter
and/or the vehicle’s operation.
Configurable Options: :
●Remote Door Locks ●Active or Passive Arming ●Ignition Door Locks
●Security Lock ●Trunk/Hatch Release ●Runtime
●Runtime Reset ●Secure Transmitter Mode
REMOTE DOOR LOCKS
If the Remote-Starter is installed with door locks, you will be able to lock and unlock the vehicle without
using the key or OEM key fob.
To UNLOCK the doors and DISARM the Alarm:
Press the UNLOCK button for 1 second.
The parking lights will flash twice and the LED will turn OFF to confirm the signal. The Starter-Kill will
also deactivate allowing the vehicle to be started with the key. If UNLOCK is pressed again
(consecutively) the horn will honk twice (if installed) to confirm.
Note: The system can be configured during installation so the horn confirms UNLOCK on the first
attempt.
To LOCK the doors and ARM the Alarm:
Press the LOCK button for 1 second.
The parking light will flash once and the LED will turn ON to confirm the signal.
The Starter-Kill will activate preventing the vehicle from being started with the key. If LOCK is pressed
again (consecutively) the horn will honk once (if installed) to confirm.
Note: The system can be configured during installation so the horn confirms LOCK on the first
attempt.

11
ACTIVE OR PASSIVE ARMING
Passive Mode will allow the Alarm to automatically rearm itself 60 seconds after it is disarmed if no
door(s) (or trunk) are open(ed). Opening a door before the 60 seconds has expired will reset the timer
but will also prevent the Alarm from locking the doors. This option is enabled by default and the Alarm
will never arm as long as at least one door is left open. When this feature is disabled the Alarm is
considered to be in Active Mode which requires the remote transmitter to arm the Alarm.
Note: The automatic rearm can be deactivated by pressing the UNLOCK button.
IGNITION DOOR LOCKS
Ignition Door Locks is an automatic passenger safety feature. When enabled the Remote-
Starter/Alarm will automatically LOCK the vehicles doors once the key is turned to the ignition
(ON/RUN) position and the brake pedal is pressed. The Remote-Starter/Alarm will also automatically
UNLOCK the vehicles doors once the key is turned to the OFF position.
SECURITY LOCK
Security Lock triggers the vehicle's door locks after the Remote-Starter has shut down. In some cases
before the Remote-Starter is able to start the vehicle it must disarm the Original Equipment
Manufacture (OEM) anti-theft system first (if equipped) to prevent a false alarm when the vehicle is
running. After the Remote-Starter runtime has expired and the Remote-Starter shuts down, the
Security Lock will re-arm the OEM anti-theft system in order to return the vehicle to its original
protective state.
TRUNK/HATCH RELEASE (ZONE 6)
The vehicle's trunk or rear hatch (if installed) can be opened by pressing the TRUNK button. The Alarm
will not disarm but it will ignore the trunk zone until it is closed.
RUNTIME
On gas engines the Remote-Starter can run the vehicle for either 3, 7 or 15 (default) minutes. On
diesel engines the Remote-Starter can run the vehicle for either 6, 15 or 30 (default) minutes.
RUNTIME RESET (5 BUTTON TRANSMITTER ONLY)
Once the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter the runtime can be reset (before it expires) at any
time by pressing the START button while the vehicle is Remote-Started. The horn/siren will sound
once to confirm (If installed).
SECURE TRANSMITTER MODE
Secure Transmitter Mode is a safety feature that prevents accidental button activation. The Remote-
Starter will ignore short TRUNK and START button presses from the remote transmitters, and
requires the buttons to be pressed for at least 3 seconds. If enabled, ALL remote transmitters
(including multi-vehicle transmitter) will require a 3 second button press.
ALARM
AUDIBLE CONFIRMATION
By default the Alarm will not send an audible confirmation (horn/siren) after the first signal has been
received from the remote transmitter(s).
SILENT : Press the TRUNK, LOCK or UNLOCK button ONCE and the park lights will flash, but the horn/siren
will NOT confirm the signal.
AUDIBLE : Pressing the same button TWICE consecutively the park lights will flash, and the horn/siren will
confirm the signal.
The Alarm can be programmed to audibly confirm the signal on the first button press. (See Installation
Guide p.14).

12
ALARM ACTIVITY
The following characteristics enhance your vehicle's security :
If the Alarm system is active and the horn/siren is sounding :
►Press the UNLOCK button ONCE to stop the alarm sound. The Alarm will remain active and will
immediately resound if a zone is (re)triggered.
►Press the UNLOCK button TWICE to stop the alarm sound, deactivate the Alarm, and unlock the
doors.
►When the vehicle is unlocked the horn/siren will sound with several short chirps to indicate the
zone that has previously triggered the Alarm. (See Remote-Start/Alarm Diagnostics p.13)
NOTE 1: If the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter and the Alarm is triggered the Remote-
Starter will shut down immediately. This applies to Cold Start, Turbo and Idle Modes. However the
vehicle can be Remote-Started at a later time (i.e. The Alarm will not cancel Cold Start Timer).
NOTE 2: When an alarm infraction has occurred the LED on the antenna will quickly flash 3 times
followed of a long pause. It will continue to flash until the alarm is disabled.
OPEN ZONE NOTIFICATION
When the LOCK button is pressed to ARM the Alarm (non Valet Mode), it will indicate if there are any
zones which are currently active. The Alarm will sound with several short chirps to indicate which zone
is active. A silent ARM or only 1 chirp indicates that no zones are currently active. (See Remote-
Starter/Alarm Diagnostics p.13)
FALSE ALARM DEACTIVATION
This option will disable any zone that triggers the alarm 3 consecutive times. The zone will
automatically re-enable once the LOCK button or the UNLOCK button is pressed.
SHOCK SENSOR (ZONE 4)
The Alarm system supports FSS2Z (2 stage - 3 wire) Shock Sensors. The Shock Sensor will produce a
short audible warning on a weak shock, and will trigger a full alarm on a strong shock. Whenever the
vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter the shock sensor is ignored until the Remote-Starter shuts
down. However the Alarm can be set to monitor the Shock Sensor if the vehicle is Armed AFTER the
vehicle is Remote-Started.
VEHICLE LOCATOR/PANIC MODE
To locate your vehicle in a busy parking lot press the LOCK button for 3 seconds to sound the
horn/siren (If installed) and flash the parking lights. Press unlock to cancel this Mode.
Note: If a Alarm pre-triggered zone is in memory, this Mode will NOT clear this zone from memory.
SENSOR DEACTIVATION
In cases where a sensor is too sensitive and causes false alarms, it is possible to disable some of the
zones. The Shock Sensor (zone 4), Auxiliary In (zone 7) and the Tilt Sensor (zone 8). To disable all of
these zones press the auxiliary AUX button followed by either the LOCK button or the UNLOCK button
of the 5-button remote-starter. Confirmation of 1 signal indicates the zones are activated and 2
signals indicates the zones are deactivated.
TRANSMITTER RANGE
Several factors may affect the operating range of the remote transmitter:
●A weak transmitter battery.
●The operating environment such as in the city and airports due to radio interference, cell phone towers,
etc…
●Several types of metal such as the vehicle itself, other vehicles, the windshields tint lines and large
buildings.
●The vehicle’s shape. Vans generally have poorer range.
●The shape of the vehicle’s roof and the A-pillars cause considerable radio-frequency deflection. As a
result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing with relation to the remote transmitter can affect

13
range. Facing the front of the vehicle generally produces the greatest range; secondly facing the back.
Facing either side of the vehicle will usually give the poorest range.
●The range will be significantly poorer in crowded parking lots as opposed to empty parking lots.
●Hold the transmitter at shoulder height or hold it against your chin so your body acts as a larger
antenna.
●The operating range will be somewhat poorer on vehicles equipped with a factory alarm or keyless entry
system.
FAILED REMOTE-START
There are several different installation factors and devices that must work together in order for your vehicle
to Remote-Start properly. In some cases a failed Remote Start is not the fault of the Remote-Starter itself.
Here are some things to consider when the Remote-Starter fails.
●Unmaintained Engine. If you have problems starting the vehicle with the key then the Remote-Starter will
have the same difficulty.
●Low Battery. A battery’s voltage can drop to less than 4 volts DC (1/3 of the original) during cold
weather starting. Ensure your battery is working properly and is able to provide the proper current
needed to start the vehicle in extreme temperatures.
●Low Fuel, or water in the fuel tank. Keep your fuel tank full as much as possible to prevent the build-up of
condensation in the tank..
●A corroded or broken Hood Pin switch. Visually inspect the hood pin switch frequently. Cover with a
dialectic grease to prevent corrosion.
●Trailer wiring. Corroded or improperly wired trailer wiring may cause the park light signal to bleed into
the brake signal. This will cause the Remote-Starter to shut down as soon as the park lights are turned
on.
●Problems with the Bypass Kit (if installed). If you are able to put the Remote-Starter into Ready Mode, Idle
Mode, or Turbo Mode, but you are unable to Remote-Start the vehicle then the Bypass Kit may be failing.
Several Remote-Start attempts with a failed Bypass Kit may lock your vehicle for several hours.
●Dash warning lights. The dash should display in exactly the same way when either starting the vehicle
with the key, or with the Remote-Starter. If the dash displays any warning lights (Check Engine, ABS, or
Theft) once Remote-Started then something is wrong. Stop using the Remote-Starter and have it looked
at immediately.
TIP: If your vehicle is experiencing any problems either starting or running with the key have it looked at by
the Remote-Starter's installer first. Having the vehicle worked on by another service centre may void any
warranty and/or guarantees on the Remote-Starter and its Installation. Additionally the original
installation centre may refuse all fees incurred by the latter service centre (if any).

UTILISATION DE LA TÉLÉCOMMANDE

3
MISE EN GARDE
•Ne jamais démarrer un véhicule à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment non ventillé. (garage, stationnement
intérieur).
•Ne jamais démarrer à distance le véhicule avec un passager à l’intérieur du véhicule.
•En tous temps, lorsque des travaux sont effectués sur le véhicule, désactivez le système en
activant le
MODE VALET (Ævoir Page 6).
NOTE
•Le système peut être livré de trois manière différente: Démarreur à distance
seulement, alarme seulement ou démarreur à distance et alarme.
•Les options varient selon le véhicule, les composantes qui peuvent être ajoutées
avec le système et les fonctions disponibles sur le véhicule.
DÉMARRAGE À DISTANCE
POUR DÉMARRER VOTRE VÉHICULE À DISTANCE
Le démarreur à distance est conçu pour les véhicules à transmission manuelle ou automatique. Pour
les véhicules à transmission manuelle, consultez la section : Activation Prêt à démarrer.
ÉTAPE 1
Pour démarrer votre véhicule à distance, appuyez sur la touche
DÉMARRER pendant environ 1 seconde.
ÉTAPE 2
Les feux de stationnement s’allumeront pour vous indiquer que le
démarreur à distance a reçu votre signal.
ÉTAPE 3
Le moteur démarrera environ 5 secondes plus tard. Les feux de
stationnement demeureront allumés pendant la durée de marche
préprogrammée.
Si le véhicule ne démarre pas dès la première tentative, le démarreur à distance s’éteindra, attendra
quelques secondes et tentera à nouveau de démarrer le moteur.
Le démarreur à distance procédera à 2 tentatives de démarrage par défaut, mais peut être modifié
dans la programmation pour 1 ou 3 tentatives, avant d’abandonner en cas d’échecs répétés. (Voir
ÉCHEC AU DÉMARRAGE À DISTANCE Page 13)
RÉGLAGES DES ACCESSOIRES
Chauffage et sièges chauffants : Il est conseillé de prérégler les commandes de l’habitacle avant de quitter
votre véhicule, en prévision du prochain démarrage. Le réglage du chauffage (ventilateur) avant et
arrière, de même que celui des sièges chauffants (si votre véhicule en est équipé) ne devrait pas être
laissé en position haute (HIGH). Nous recommandons de laisser ces réglages en position basse ou
moyenne (LOW ou MEDIUM).
Essuie-glaces, radio et phares : Sur certains véhicules, le circuit de la radio et/ou des essuie-glaces et/ou
des phares est obligatoirement mis sous tension suite à un démarrage à distance. Lorsque vous
quittez le véhicule, assurez-vous que les commandes des essuie-glaces et des phares sont en
position « OFF ». Si vous laissez l’interrupteur des phares en position ouverte « ON », vous risquez,
avec certains véhicules, que les phares s’allument après démarrage à distance, ce qui mettrait la
batterie à plat.
Dégivreur arrière : Puisque le dégivreur arrière peut seulement être activé après le démarrage du
véhicule, cette caractéristique n’est pas incluse dans l’installation du démarreur à distance. Pour
certains véhicules il est possible d’installer cette caractéristique de façon à ce qu’elle s’active
automatiquement à la suite d’un démarrage à distance ou en utilisant les fonctions auxiliaires. (Voir
Utilisation des auxiliaires Page 9)
Réglages des conducteurs : Certains véhicules sont en mesure de garder en mémoire les réglages des
sièges, des miroirs et des postes programmés de la radio pour différents conducteurs. Bien que ces
réglages ne puissent être contrôlés par le démarreur à distance, il est possible dans certains cas de
les contrôler avec un module d’interface. (Demandez à votre installateur pour plus de détails).

ACTIVATION MODE PRÊT À DÉMARRER (TRANSMISSION MANUELLE SEULEMENT)
Deux méthodes d’activation du mode prêt à démarrer sont possibles, veuillez vous renseigner auprès
de votre installateur ou vendeur pour déterminer lequel des deux modes s’applique à votre véhicule.
Lorsqu’un véhicule muni d’une transmission manuelle est en mode Prêt à démarrer, on peut démarrer
et éteindre le moteur à volonté. Par contre si l’une des actions de désactivation du Mode Prêt à
démarrer survient, le mode Prêt à démarrer sera désactivé et le véhicule ne pourra plus être démarré
à distance jusqu’à ce que le mode Prêt à démarrer soit de nouveau activé :
MÉTHODE 1 (par défaut) Pour activer :
ÉTAPE 1 et Assurez-vous que toutes les Portières sont fermées et que le
Levier de vitesse est en position NEUTRE.
ÉTAPE 2
Pendant que le Moteur est en marche, serrez le Frein de
stationnement,
ÉTAPE 3
Relâchez la pédale de frein.
ÉTAPE 4
En 20 sec. ou moins, appuyez sur la touche DÉMARRER de
la Télécommande. Les Feux de stationnement clignoteront 1
fois rapidement et resteront allumés.
ÉTAPE 5
Retirez la Clé de contact : le Moteur se maintiendra en
marche.
ÉTAPE 6
Sortez du véhicule et refermez toutes les portières.
Le moteur s’éteindra. Le démarreur à distance s’éteindra
une fois toutes les portières fermées.
ÉTAPE 7
Barrez les portes en appuyant sur la touche VERROUILLAGE
MÉTHODE 2 Cette méthode doit être activée par l'installateur lors de l'installation. Pour activer :
ÉTAPE 1
Assurez-vous que la transmission est en position
NEUTRE.
ÉTAPE 2
Pendant que le Moteur est en marche, serrez le Frein de
stationnement,
ÉTAPE 3 Relâchez la pédale de frein.
ÉTAPE 4 Retirez la clé de contact: le véhicule est prêt à Démarrer. (et
pas en marche)
ÉTAPE 5
Sortez du véhicule et refermez toutes les portières.
Le moteur s’éteindra. Le démarreur à distance s’éteindra
une fois toutes les portières fermées.
Le véhicule est prêt à démarrer. L'ouverture d'une portière désactive le mode Prêt à démarrer. La
séquence doit être recommencé à l'étape 1.
DESACTIVATION DU PRET A DEMARRER MÉTODE 1 OU 2:
• Ouverture d’une portière, • Ouverture du capot; • Désengagement du frein de stationnement;
N.B. : Si les feux de stationnement clignotent 3 fois, le véhicule ne démarrera pas, l’activation de mode
Prêt à démarrer est désactivée.
POUR PARTIR
Lorsque le véhicule est en marche suite à un démarrage à distance, appuyez sur la touche
DÉVERROUILLAGE pour déverrouiller les portières (si le verrouillage à distance a été installé),
désarmez le dispositif antidémarrage et l’alarme (si installé). Entrez dans le véhicule et procédez
