USING YOUR REMOTE STARTER
SAFETY SEQUENCE
Your remote starter was designed to force you to perform a series of actions that will ensure that the gearshift lever is in
neutral position when you exit the vehicle.
This series of actions is called a "Safety sequence" and is aimed at preventing any remote start in situations where remote
starting the engine would not be safe.
Should the liftgate or any door be opened at any time, the intrusion will be detected and the safety sequence will be
cancelled by the system, thus preventing a remote start. In such cases, the sequence must be repeated to allow for an
eventual remote start.
The system offers two execution modes for the sequence. These options must be set at time of installation. The first mode
is initiated by the parking brake and the other by the remote control.
The safety sequence must be performed as follows.
S
EQUENCE ACTIVATED BY THE PARKING BRAKE
.
1.
While engine is running (key in ignition switch), apply the brakes and hold the pedal down.
2.
Move gearshift lever to neutral.
3.
Apply the parking brake
Once
Twice
Note
: The system can be set - at time of installation - to require that the parking brake be applied once or
twice. If set for two actuations, pause one second between the two.
4.
Remove key from ignition (the system keeps the engine running).
5.
Exit the vehicle.
6.
Within 60 seconds, close
all
doors.
7.
The system will stop the engine and blink the parking brakes once to confirm the sequence is valid (vehicle
is ready for a remote start command).
S
EQUENCE ACTIVATED BY THE REMOTE CONTROL
1.
While engine is running (key in ignition switch), apply the brakes and hold the pedal down.
2.
Move gearshift lever to neutral.
3.
Apply parking brake.
4. Press
button on your remote control.
5.
Remove key from ignition (the system keeps the engine running).
6.
Exit the vehicle and close
all
doors.
7.
Stop the engine using the remote control (see the table of commands on page 5).
The system will stop the engine and parking lights will blink once to confirm the sequence is valid (vehicle is
ready for a remote start command).
NOTES :
If you release the brake pedal and depress it once more during or after the execution of the safety sequence,
the safety sequence will be invalidated and any remote start will be impossible.
If the engine stops when the key is removed from the ignition, the safety sequence is invalid.
Perform a new safety sequence. If problem persists, consult your installer.
