Note: The 5 button remote(s) has the same characteristics of the 4 button remote(s)
with the exception of button placement and the addition of an auxiliary button. (See
Auxiliary Use p.9, Runtime Reset p.11).
WARNING
Your system is provided with a hood pin safety switch which is located in the engine
compartment. When the hood is opened the switch will disable the remote-starter and
prevent it from remote-starting.
Have a qualified technician verify the functionality of the hood switch every 3 to 6
months to ensure it remains in good condition.
The manufacturer is not responsible for a defective or poorly maintained hood pin
switch. Ensure that the hood pin switch is installed by a qualified technician.

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. To remote-start the vehicle
press the (START) button for approximately 1 second. The parking lights will turn
on to indicate a response to the Remote-Start signal. 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 3 times (default) before giving up. (See Failed Remote Start p.14)
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 the doors are opened, Ready
Mode will deactivate and the vehicle will not start until Ready Mode is reactivated.

the first attempt.
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

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.

indicate the zone that has previously triggered the Alarm. (See Remote-Start/Alarm
Diagnostics p.15)
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

User guide 14
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.12)
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 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).

MISE EN GARDE
Votre système est muni d’un interrupteur-capot; l’interrupteur se trouve
dans le compartiment du moteur. Lorsque le CAPOT est RELEVÉ, l’interrupteur
capot désactive le démarreur à distance de façon à prévenir tout démarrage.
Faites vérifier l’état de l’interrupteur capot par un technicien qualifié à
tous les 3 à 6 mois.
Le manufacturier se détache de toutes responsabilités liées à un
interrupteur capot défectueux ou mal entretenu. Assurez-vous que
l’interrupteur capot est installé par un technicien qualifié.
PRÉCAUTIONS
•Ne pas démarrer un véhicule à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment. (garage, stationnement
intérieur).
•Dans le cas d'un véhicule à transmission manuelle, ne pas démarrer le véhicule avec
un passager à l’intérieur du véhicule.
•Lorsque des travaux sont effectués sur le véhicule, désactivez le système en activant
le MODE VALET (voir p. 7).

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. Pour démarrer votre véhicule à distance, appuyez sur la touche
(DEMARR.) pendant environ 1 seconde. Les feux de stationnement s’allumeront pour vous
indiquer que le démarreur à distance a reçu votre signal. 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 3 tentatives de démarrage par défaut, mais peut être modifié dans la
programmation pour 1 ou 2 tentatives, avant d’abandonner en cas d’échecs répétés. (Voir
ÉCHEC AU DÉMARRAGE À DISTANCE p.14)
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 p. 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 DU 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 :
MODE 1 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.
