START COMMANDS

STARTING THE ENGINE
To start engine, press
The system automatically adjusts ignition duration for your type of vehicle; parking lights flash once (duration: four seconds)
then stay on all the time when the engine is running.
If more than one command is sent, each successive start command resets the runtime to the beginning, parking lights flash
once to confirm command has been received and horn sounds once (programmable during installation) to let you know
engine is already running.
When the start command is emitted,
the system will immediately send a confirmation
that the vehicle is ready to start
the following confirmation if the vehicle is not ready
(ex.: the vehicle won't start if the hood is open).
In this case, the parking lights and fan icons flashes number of times that
corresponds to the start fail code, see details on page 20.
If the vehicle is ready to start, the system will automatically change to the
start cycle and send another confirmation only if the command was
successfully executed. The system can take a few seconds to send back

pictograms.
When remote control receives a confirmation, it flashes the relevant pictograms and vibrates twice.
If vehicle is out of range, remote control will give a soft chirp after five seconds to indicate that either the control module or
