Using Your Remote Vehicle Starter
Remote Starting Your Vehicle
To activate the remote vehicle start function, press and release the OPT button on the remote control 2 times
within 2 seconds. The system will sound, the parking lights will flash 1 time and the system will check the vehicle
to ensure it is safe to start, if all safety parameters are correct, the vehicle will start within 5 seconds (diesel
vehicles will take longer). The vehicle’s parking lights will turn on (or flash depending on system settings) as a
visual indication that the vehicle has started and is running. Press and release the OPT button on the remote
control 2 times within 2 seconds again to turn the vehicle off.
If your vehicle stalls or does not start, the system will pause 5 seconds, then try 3 more times to start the vehicle (a
total of 4 attempts). The system will pause 5 seconds between each start attempt. If the vehicle does not start
after the 4th attempt, the system will abort the remote vehicle start process.
Entering the Vehicle while it is running via Remote Vehicle Start
1. Unlock the vehicle’s doors.
2. Enter the vehicle. DO NOT PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL!

Using the Safety (Red Handled) Control Switch
The safety (red handled) control switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote vehicle starter feature, this is
especially helpful when having your vehicle serviced or valet parked. To disable the remote start, move the safety
(red handled) control switch to the OFF position.

Before exiting the vehicle, set the temperature controls to the desired setting and operation. After the system
starts the vehicle, the heater or air conditioning will activate and heat or cool the vehicle’s interior to your setting.
Using the “Quick-stop” Feature
If you want to make a short stop and keep your vehicle running (to keep the interior warm or cool), the quick-stop
feature allows you to do this while keeping your vehicle secure and your keys with you.
