REMOTE-STARTING

REMOTE-STARTING THE VEHICLE

This Remote-Starter supports both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. For manual
transmission vehicles see the Ready Mode section.
STEP 1
STEP 2
STEP 3
If the vehicle fails to start on the fi rst attempt, the Remote-Starter will wait 3 seconds before
it will attempt to start the vehicle again. The Remote-Starter will attempt to start the vehicle 2
times (default) before giving up (see Failed Remote Start page 18).

ACCESSORY PRESET

HEATER & HEATED SEATS : When leaving the vehicle it is recommended that the driver pre-set
the climate controls in preparation for a later Remote-Start. When the vehicle Remote-Starts,
the current (or last) setting for the climate controls, windshield wipers (and other accesso-
ries) will be used. When setting the blower motor (fan speed) and heated seats (if equipped)
should not be left on HIGH. It is recommended to leave these settings on either a LOW or
MEDIUM setting.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS & RADIO & HEADLIGHTS : Some vehicles require the radio, windshield wiper,
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 turned off. Leaving the
headlights on with some vehicles could cause them to remain on even after the Remote-Starter has
shut down, resulting in a dead battery.
REAR DEFROST : On most vehicles the Rear Defrost can only be activated after the vehicle has been
started and in most cases this feature is not included with a Remote-Starter installation. On some
vehicles it may be possible for the installer to hook this feature up so it either automatically enables
after Remote-Start or can be enabled by using an AUX output (see *The parking light diagnostics
can not be used on some vehicles equipped with automatic lights., page 14)
DRIVER PRESETS : Some vehicles retain different seat, mirror and radio settings for each driver.
Different driver presets are not controlled by the Remote-Starter, however they may be controlled
with the Bypass/Interface Kit (ask your installer for more details).

READY MODE (MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY)

Two activation methods are possible, please consult the salesman or installer to determine which
of these modes applies to your vehicle. There are always safety concerns for a manual transmis-
sion vehicle to accidentally start while in gear, Ready Mode alleviates these concerns. The driver
must enable Ready Mode in order to Remote-Start the vehicle at a later time. Once Ready Mode
is set-up the vehicle can be started/stopped at will, as many times as needed. However once the
parking brake is disengaged, the hood is opened, or any of the doors are opened, Ready Mode will
deactivate and the vehicle will not start until Ready Mode is reactivated.
To remote-start the vehicle press the START button for approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
The parking lights will turn on to indicate a response to the Remote-
Start signal.
Approximately 5 seconds later the engine will crank. Once the
vehicle starts the parking lights will turn on and remain on for the
entire duration of the Remote-Starter runtime, or until the Remote-
Starter is shut down.
