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.
REMOTE-STARTING
ÉTAPE 1
ÉTAPE 2
ÉTAPE 3
If the vehicle fails to start on the first 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 p.13)

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. (See Auxiliary Outputs p.10)
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 setup 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
VALET MODE
To remote-start the vehicle press the START button for
approximately 1 second.
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.
