Introduction 

This is a state-of-the-art remote starter system. The system is packed with advanced features such 

as priority access to the driver’s door (commodity features) and the safe start children safety 

feature.  With many an advanced function, this product will satisfy any one of your expectations 

from high-end commodity and security systems, without neglecting any standard feature commonly 

offered by entry-level starters. 

Using the Transmitter 

Your remote starter is equipped with a 5-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate two 

independent vehicles equipped with identical remote starters (see 

Multi-car operation 

section on 

page 7). 

Remote-Starting Your Vehicle 

Press the 

START/STOP

 button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come 

ON

 to inform you 

that the remote starter has received your signal. Approximately 5 seconds later, the engine will 

start. The parking lights will remain 

ON

 during the pre-programmed run time of the engine. 

If the vehicle does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds and 

try to start the engine again. There will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up. 

Vehicle Presets (

Heater & Heated Seat

When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the 

next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as heated seats (if 

equipped) should not be left on 

HIGH

. It is recommended to leave the settings on 

LOW

 or 

MEDIUM

 

instead.
