Remote Starting Your Vehicle
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, simply press the button to remote start or stop
your vehicle. Please see “Remote starting” below.
Warning: If you vehicle has an automatic transmission and the parking lights flash 15 times after
pressing the button, please see your installer as programming will have to be modified.
Setting Your Vehicle Into Ready Mode
If your vehicle has a manual transmission you must read the following indications. 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.
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 , UNLOCK or START/STOP on the transmitter.
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.
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.
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 to inform you
that the Remote Car Starter 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.
If the vehicle does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down. If your vehicle is
equipped with an automatic transmission, there will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up.
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.
