Using Your Remote Starter
Starting Your Vehicle
The remote start function is activated by pressing LOCK and then
pressing START within 2 seconds on the remote control. The system

four attempts). The system pauses 5 seconds between each start
attempt. If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the
PowerCode PC 7400
TM
will abort the start process.
Your vehicle can be started by remote control whether the vehicle is
