NOTE: All vehicle doors, hood, trunk or rear gate must be closed prior to activating the remote engine start

system. Any open entry point will prevent starting or cause the system to shut down.

Uponsuccessful activation, the remote start fob will ﬂash and beep one (1) time**, the horn will honk one (1) time

andthe side marker lights, tail lights and parking lights will ﬂash one (1) time. Thesystem will check certain safety

preconditionsbefore starting and if all conditions are met, the engine will start within ﬁve (5) seconds. Afterthe

enginestarts, the remote start fob will ﬂash and beep two (2) times**, the horn will honk one (1) time and the side

markerlights, tail lights and parking lights will ﬂash one (1) time. Whilethe engine is running via the remote engine

startsystem, the remote start fob will continue to ﬂash one (1) time every three (3) seconds, the side marker lights,

taillights and parking lights will remain illuminated and the power window switches will be disabled. Theengine

willcontinue to run for ﬁfteen (15) minutes unless one of the safety parameters below is triggered. Thesystem also

hasa timer that will allow the system to operate for a maximum of twenty (20) minutes (under multiple remote start

activations). Using the factory ignition key (Turn start models) or Access key (Push button start models) to turn on the

ignitionresets the twenty (20) minute timer.

Ifthe engine turns over but does not start (or starts and stalls) the remote engine start system will power off and then

attemptto start the engine three (3) additional times. Thesystem will not attempt to restart the engine if it determines

avehicle malfunction is preventing it from starting. Ifthe engine does not start after the three (3) additional attempts,

theremote engine start request will be aborted.

RemoteStart Safety Parameters

Forsafety and security reasons, the system will fail to start or shut down the engine during remote start operation if

anyof the following occur:

• Theremote start system has operated for twenty (20) minutes between ignition “ON” cycles

Thehorn will honk three (3) times and the parking lights will ﬂash three (3) times

• Anyof the vehicle’s doors, trunk or rear gate are open

Thehorn will honk six (6) times and the parking lights will ﬂash six (6) times

• Thevehicle’s hood is open

Thehorn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will ﬂash two (2) times

• Theignition key is resting in the ignition cylinder (Turn start models)

Thehorn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will ﬂash two (2) times

• Thetransmission shifter is not in the “park” position

Thehorn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will ﬂash two (2) times

• Thevehicle’s brake pedal is pressed before the vehicle ignition is turned “ON”

Thehorn will honk two (2) times and the parking lights will ﬂash two (2) times

• Thevehicle’s engine idle speed has reached a level over 3,500 RPM (this will cause the vehicle to shut down)

• Thevehicle’s security system is triggered by opening the door, trunk or rear gate (if the security system is armed

atthe time of remote start activation)

Inaddition to the items above, if the vehicle’s engine management system determines there is a safety risk due to a

vehiclerelated problem, the engine will shut down.

WARNING: TO AVOIDDANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE, NEVER REMOTE START A VEHICLE IN ACLOSED

SPACESUCH AS A CLOSED GARAGE.

NOTE: Laws in some communities require that the vehicle be within view of anyone using the Remote Engine

Start. In some areas, use of the Remote Engine Start may violate state, provincial or local laws. Beforeusing

theRemote Engine Start, check your state, provincial and local laws.

9. At the end of the installation, insert the Quick Reference Cards into the Owner’s Information Kit.

SYSTEM POWER-UP

1. After all the connections are complete, re-connect the vehicle’s negative battery terminal. Using a 10mm socket/

torque wrench, tighten the 10mm nut to 7.5 Nm +/- 2 Nm (0.76 Kgf-m +/- 0.2 Kgf-m, 5.5 ft-lbs +/- 1.5 ft-lbs).

2. Start the vehicle at least one (1) time using the ignition key prior to activating the remote engine start system. This

is required to allow the vehicle’s electronic systems to re-synchronize.

3. With the vehicle running via the ignition key, verify that the instrument cluster airbag light turns off. If the airbag light

remains on, refer to the vehicle service information for troubleshooting.

4. With the vehicle running via the ignition key, apply the brake pedal and shift the transmission out of park. Turn off

the engine and conﬁrm the ignition key cannot be removed from the ignition switch. If it can, conﬁrm the key lock

solenoid connector is connected and the delivery (test) mode fuse is removed, then re-check.

5. Refer to the vehicle Owner’s manual for the Power Window Reset Procedure to restore the power window functions.
