REMOTE-STARTING
REMOTE-STARTING THE VEHICLE
This Remote-Starter supports both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. For manual transmis-
sion vehicles see the Ready Mode section.
REMOTE-STARTING
STEP1
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 at-
tempt 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 11)
ACCESSORY PRESET
Heater & Heated Seat(s): 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
accessories) 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.
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.
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 transmission 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 button for approximately 3 sec-
ond. The remote Green Led turn ON for 1 second and a ascending
melodie will sound to confi rm.
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.
