A note concerning the battery inside the transmitter:
Depending on your usage of the transmitter, the battery can last anywhere
between 3 to 6 months. When the battery is low, the transmitter will
produce two beeps in a repetitive cycle. At that point you should
replace your battery with a new one. That is why we recommend that
you keep a spare battery somewhere handy such as the glove
compartment.

Remote-Starting Your Vehicle
Setting Your Vehicle into Ready Mode
This product is designed for vehicles with a manual transmission only. In order to start the vehicle
by remote, the unit must first be set to ready mode. If the unit is not set to ready mode, it cannot
remote-start the vehicle. Once the system is set to ready mode, the vehicle can be remote-started
and stopped at wish. The system will exit ready mode if a door or the hood is opened, if the brake
pedal is pres sed, if the parking brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the IGNITION ON
(RUN) position.
To set the system to ready mode:
1. Ensure that all the doors are closed and that the shifter is in the neutral position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake and release the brake pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. press LOCK, or UNLOCK.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will go on running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close the door.

P. 7User Guide
6. Press and hold either:
a. LOCK to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
b. UNLOCK to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
c. START/STOP to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
Remaining In Ready Mode
Once the vehicle is in ready mode you can start and stop the vehicle at wish. However, should any
of the following occur, the vehicle will exit ready mode –thus eliminating the remote start option
until ready mode is restored:
•Door opened;
•Hood opened;
•Brake pedal pressed;
•Parking brake disengaged;
•Ignition key turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
Should any of the above occur, ready mode will be cancelled.
Note: The unit will notify the user that it has exited ready mode by giving 3 slow flashes
(parking lights).
Remote-starting
Press the START/STOP button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON and the remote
control will play a melody to inform you that the system has received your signal. Approximately 5
seconds later, the engine will start the parking lights will remain on during the pre-programmed
run time of the engine. The remote control will play a second melody to confirm that the engine has
started. If the vehicle does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down.
WARNING!
It may require as much as 10 seconds before receiving the second confirmation signal;
therefore, pressing any buttons before receiving that confirmation will abort the
confirmation process.
Vehicle Presets
Heater & Heated Seat
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as heated seats (if
equipped) should not be left on HIGH. It is recommended to leave the settings on LOW or MEDIUM
instead.
Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wiper and / or 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 OFF. Leaving the headlight switch ON on certain types
of vehicles could cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead
battery.
Driving Off
With the vehicle running under remote control, press the UNLOCK button to disarm and unlock the
doors. Enter the vehicle and do the following:
•Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position. (Do not turn the key to the CRANK
position while the engine is running. This would cause the starter motor to re-engage.)
•Press the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter unit.
You are now ready to drive off.

Advanced Features: Installation-programmable Options
The system was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. With its programmable
options, this unit can single-handedly control nearly any electrical system in your vehicle.
Caution: The programming of your system should be left to a professional. Changing any
one of the settings may affect the operation of your system.
The installation-programmable options are as follows:
•Remote Door Locks
•Priority Door Access
•Passive or Active Arming
•Starter Kill / Anti-grind feature
•Shock Sense and Warn-away
•Disarmed Notification
•Siren / Horn Chirps
•Car Finder
•Siren / Horn Chirp Timing
•Safe Start
•Ignition-controlled Door Locks
•Ignition Re-lock
•Secure Lock
•Turbo Mode
•Remote Trunk Release
•Engine Run Time
•Multi-car Operation
Remote Door Locks
If your system was installed with the remote door locks option, you will have the convenience of
remote keyless entry. See section arming and disarming the system, earlier in this guide, for further
instructions on remote door locking and unlocking.
Priority Door Access
If the Remote Door Locks option is installed on your vehicle, this safety feature allows you unlock
solely the driver’s door with a single press of the UNLOCK button on the transmitter; upon a second
press of the UNLOCK button, all the other doors will unlock.
Active or Passive Arming
The alarm and starter kill can be configured either to passive mode (so as to arm automatically) or
active mode (so as to require user intervention for arming). By default, your system is configured to
passive mode. In passive mode, the alarm and starter kill will automatically arm 30 seconds after
the last door is closed. The system will not arm if a door is left open, or if you re-open a door within
the 30-second delay.
Important: When the system re-arms automatically or if there is an alarm condition, you can
disarm the system by simply pressing the UNLOCK button.
The Starter Kill and the Anti-grind Feature
With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition
key when the starter kill is armed. If your system was installed with the starter kill option, one will

User Guide P. 12
not be able to start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked and disarmed
first, or put into valet mode.
Note: If the starter kill is installed, your vehicle will benefit from a protection against starter
motor damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force of
habit, turn the ignition key to the CRANK position.
Shock Sense, Warn-away Sense
Your system will react to a full shock by triggering the alarm; it can also respond to a lighter shock
(30 % of the strength of a full shock) by giving a warn-away (without triggering an alarm condition).
When the engine is running after a remote start, however, the system will prevent any alarm
condition to be triggered; it will still give a warn-away if this feature has not been disabled at
installation.
Note: After a remote start, although the shock sensor is disabled, all the other alarm-
triggering zones, such as the doors or the hood, may still trigger an alarm.
Disarmed Notification
This feature will notify the user when the vehicle was left disarmed: after the engine is shut down
(with the key removed) and all doors are closed, the siren will chirp once after a 10-seconds
notification delay to warn the user that the vehicle was left unprotected. The notification can be
avoided by pressing the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the transmitter.
The user will likewise be notified after the system is disarmed using the transmitter.
Siren Chirps or Horn Honks
The siren will chirp to confirm basic operations on the System:
•By default, upon locking the doors the siren will give one chirp if no protection zone is active.
•If a zone is active as the doors are being locked, the siren will give three chirps.
•When the doors are being unlocked, the siren will give two chirps if no intrusion was detected.
•If an intrusion was detected, as the doors are being unlocked the siren will give four chirps.
The system can alternatively be set to:
Warning Mode:no chirp during lock/unlock…
•unless a zone is active when locking, in which case there will be 3 chirp upon locking
•or unless the alarm was triggered, in which case there will be 4chirps when unlocking);
Open Zone Notification Mode: 3 warning chirps if a door is left open 10 sec. after arming.
No Chirp: the siren will not chirp under any circumstance.
Car Finder
When enabled, the Car Finder option will help you locate your vehicle by generating a pulsating
signal through the horn or the siren. To hear the signal, press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons
simultaneously. This will cause a pulsating signal lasting for the time you keep the buttons pressed.
Siren or Horn Chirp Timing
The duration of the chirps can be adjusted at installation (from 5 to 200 ms).
Safe Start
If this feature is enabled, the user must press the START/STOP button 2 times within 3seconds to
remote-start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing
with the transmitter. If swap start mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle press LOCK and
UNLOCK simultaneously. The AUX 2output can be activated by pressing the START/STOP button.
Home Valet TM
If this feature is installed, the user will have the possibility to remotely set the vehicle to a no-
remote-start mode. See home valet section, earlier in this guide, for full instructions.

P. 13 User Guide
Ignition-controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your system was installed with the ignition-controlled door
locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the OFF position,
the doors will automatically be unlocked.
Ignition Re-lock
On systems of this series, when ignition-controlled door locks are enabled and the ignition key is in
the IGNITION ON (RUN) position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors will be relocked
next time the brake pedal is pressed.
Secure Lock
Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the system must first disarm the factory security system.
The secure lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory security systems
that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed.
To keep your vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start,
secure lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle
ends, secure lock will rearm your factory security system.
Turbo Mode
When left in turbo mode, the system will keep the engine running for 60 seconds before shutting it
down. This is to allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the vehicle. See turbo
mode section earlier in this guide.
Remote Trunk Release
If your system was installed with the remote trunk release option, you can open your trunk by
pressing the TRUNK button for 3seconds on the remote transmitter or by pressing the TRUNK button
twice within 3seconds.
Engine Run Time
(15/20 minutes by default.) If you have a gas engine, your System can be programmed to run the
engine for 4, 15, or 25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the System
can be programmed to run the engine for 9, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default).
Multi-car Operation
This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with System systems, to control both
systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle, simultaneously press the
TRUNK button and the button of the function you wish to use. See the transmitter operation table
earlier in this Guide. for full instructions on second car operation.
Note: Your remote control must be configured for second car operation by the installer.
L.E.D. Intrusion Codes
If an intrusion took place while your vehicle was locked and the system was armed, the L.E.D. will
provide feedback on the intrusion. The L.E.D. intrusion codes are flashed by the L.E.D. in
continuous loops and are as follows:
1 flash = power-up reset: battery
disconnected and reconnected, or dead
battery.
2 flash = doors intrusion
3 flash = shock sense
4 flash = hood intrusion
5 flash = panic
6 flash = ignition

User Guide P. 14
Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
•The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
•The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers…)
•Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
•The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor
range.
•The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in
this case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is
facing in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on –standing in front of
the vehicle –generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the
back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest
range.
•The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
•Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter
against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
•The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or
factory alarm.
