Using Your Remote Starter
Starting Your Vehicle
The remote start function is activated by pressing LIGHTS, then
START within 3 seconds on the remote control. The system will check
the vehicle to ensure that it is safe to start, and if all safety parameters are
correct, the engine will start within 5 seconds (diesel engines will take
longer.) Press and hold START again to turn off the vehicle.
If your vehicle stalls or does not start...
If the vehicle stalls or does not start, the Power Code PC 7300
TM
will
pause 5 seconds, then try 3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of
four attempts). The system pauses 5 seconds between each start
attempt. If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the
Power Code PC 7300
TM
will abort the start process.
Your vehicle can be started by remote control whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
Remote Start Safety Features

will shut
off the vehicle during remote start if any of the following occur:
• The vehicle hood is opened
• The brake is pressed before the vehicle ignition is turned on
with the key
• The engine reaches 3 times its normal idle*
As a safety precaution, the vehicle will shut off if left unattended for
12 or 25 minutes, depending on the time preset by your installer.
