CODE LEARNING OF ADDITIONAL TRANSMITTER(S)
Four different remote controls can be programmed for a given vehicle. If a fifth remote is added, the first remote is deleted.
Note: When the first code learning command is sent, all the old codes are cleared out. therefore if you want to add a new
remote, all the old ones must be reprogrammed as well.
One or more remote transmitters can be added. To do this, the programming is accessed as follows:
Open hood. (Hood switch must be present and operational. – See “Safety checks” on page 21
Place key in the ignition and turn to the “RUN” position
Apply the brakes once
You now have 10 seconds to turn the key from “RUN” to the “OFF” position 3 times.
If this sequence is correctly carried out, the control module flashes parking lights (4 flashes). You may then
proceed to the next step.
Press the
button on the new remote control. When access code of new remote control is memorized,
the control module will confirm with flashing parking lights (1 flash).
Repeat the above procedures for each remote control that has to be programmed (up to 4 remotes).
Apply the brakes.
New remote(s) is (are) now added to the system.
If your vehicle is equipped with a function that automatically sets driver preferences (seat, mirrors, etc.) and the system is
configured to control it, the remote controls programmed in positions 1 and 2 will control the settings for the first driver and
the remote controls programmed in positions 3 and 4 will control the settings for the second driver. If you only have two
remote controls, program the first one twice and the second one twice to occupy the four memory locations of the system.
SAFETY CHECKS
In order to maintain a high safety standard, proceed with the following checks every month.
HOOD SWITCH
•
Remote start your vehicle.
•
Open hood.
Engine should stop as soon as hood is opened.
If engine does not stop immediately, turn main switch to OFF position and leave it off until situation is rectified. Contact
your service center.
GEARSHIFT CHECK APPLICABLE TO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES
If key must be in ignition for gearshift to be moved out of P, your vehicle is safe as long as keys are kept away from children.
If, on the other hand, gearshift can be put in gear without key being in ignition, proceed with this simple check.
•
Make sure that the parking brake is applied.
•
Put gearshift in gear (D).
•
Remain in the vehicle and be ready to apply brakes.
•
Start vehicle with remote starter.
•
Repeat these steps with gearshift in every position other than Park and Neutral.
If starter reacts within 90 seconds (which is not safe), turn main switch to OFF position and leave it off until situation is
rectified. Contact your service center.
•
Make sure that the parking brake is applied.
•
With gearshift in P, start vehicle with remote starter.
•
Remain in vehicle and be ready to apply brakes.
•
Without applying brakes, move gearshift out of P.
If, without applying brakes, engine does not stop immediately (which is not safe), turn main switch to OFF position and leave
it off until situation is rectified. Contact your service center.
