VEHICLE PREPARATION
1. Disconnect and Remove Battery
a. Disconnect and isolate the negative and positive battery
terminals. (FIGURE A)
b. Remove battery hold-down bracket assembly by loosen-
ing both 10 mm nuts and pivoting lower retainers toward
vehicle dashwall. (FIGURE A)
c. Carefully remove the battery from vehicle.
2. Remove the following components:
a. Using a fiber stick, remove the driver’s side scuff plate.
Panel is held by 3 clips. (FIGURE B)
b. Remove the driver’s side kick panel by removing the plas-
tic nut. (FIGURE C) Partially peel back the rubber
weatherstrip away from the kick panel. Insert a fiber stick
between the body and kick panel to disengage the re-
taining clip. Gently pull the kick panel toward the rear of
the vehicle to remove.
c. Remove the black, lower dash panel by using a fiber stick
to pull the plastic center button of the plastic fastener out
to disengage. Use a fiber stick to disengage the two clips
located at the front of the panel and remove. (FIGURE D)
d. Remove the ignition knob by depressing both buttons on
either side of knob and pulling away from ignition switch.
(Smart-Key equipped vehicles only)
e. Remove the three (3) phillips head screws from the lower
steering column cover. (FIGURE E)
f. Insert a fiber stick between the combination switch and
the lower cover. Gently rotate the fiber stick until top and

FUNCTION TO OPERATE. (READ ENTIRE PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE PRIOR TO PROGRAMMING.)
1. Transponder interface programming:
NOTE: Two programmed ignition keys are required for this step and hood must be closed. For
Smart-Key equipped vehicles, remove keys from Smart-Key transmitters and place transmitters
at least 10 feet away from vehicle during programming.
a. Sitting in the driver seat, be prepared to press the brake pedal to shut down the remote starter
system.
b. Using the first key, turn the ignition on, wait for the THEFT light to turn off, then turn the ignition off and

Car Find
1. Press and hold START button - Horn should beep six times and parking lights should flash six times.
Remote Engine Start Functions
1. REMOTE ENGINE START - Make sure the key is removed from the ignition switch and the engine hood is
closed. Press the START button twice within 3 seconds. The parking lights should flash one time, the horn
should beep once, then the vehicle should crank and start. Once started, the parking lights will turn on and
stay on signifying the vehicle is running.
2. UNLOCK DOORS - While the vehicle is running on the remote engine start, press the START button once to
unlock the driver’s door. Press the START button a second time within 3 seconds of first button press to unlock
all doors. The Factory transmitters will not unlock all doors during remote engine start.
3. BRAKE PEDAL SAFETY - Enter the vehicle and press the brake pedal. The vehicle should shut off.
4. KEY-IN-SENSE - Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch but keep in the off position. Activate the remote
engine start. The vehicle should flash the lights once as if it is going to start, but then the horn should beep
twice and the remote engine start does not attempt to start the vehicle since it senses the key in the ignition.
5. HOOD SAFETY SWITCH - Open the engine hood and activate the remote engine start. The horn should beep
two additional times signifying that hood safety switch is engaged and the vehicle will not start. (Reference
section 23 if adjustment is needed.)
