Remote Door Locks 

If your remote starter was installed with the remote door locks option, you will have the 

convenience of remote keyless entry. See section 

Arming and Disarming the Remote Starter

on page 3, for further instructions on remote door locking and unlocking. 

Priority Door Access 

If the remote door locks option is installed on your vehicle, this safety feature allows you unlock 

solely the driver’s door with a single press of the 

UNLOCK

 button on the transmitter; upon a second 

press of the 

UNLOCK

 button, all the other doors will unlock. 

Active or Passive Arming 

The starter kill can be configured either to passive mode (so as to arm automatically) or active 

mode (so as to require user intervention for arming). By default, your remote starter is configured to 

passive mode

. In passive mode, the starter kill will automatically arm 

60 seconds 

after the last 

door is closed. The remote starter will not arm if a door is left open, or if you re-open a door within 

the 60-second delay. 

Important note:

 When the remote starter re-arms automatically, you can disarm the When 

the remote starter by simply pressing the 

UNLOCK

 button. 

The Starter Kill and the Anti-grind Feature 

With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition 

key when the starter kill is armed. If your remote starter was installed with the starter kill option, 

one will not be able to start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked and 

disarmed first, or put into valet mode. 

Note: 

If the starter kill is installed, your vehicle will benefit from a protection against starter 

motor damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force of 
habit, turn the ignition key to the 

CRANK

 position. 

Flashing LED 

The user may decide to turn on or off LED flashing at any moment. To do so, simultaneously press 

and hold the 

LOCK

 and 

UNLOCK

 buttons on the transmitter. There will be an initial beep.  Keep 

holding the buttons pressed until you hear another beep.  At that point release the buttons.  The 

LED will toggle to its next state –i.e.: ON/OFF: 

There are three programmable options regarding the flashing LED: 

i. 

The LED flashes once the starter kill is activated (passive or active arming) and will 

turn itself off once the user turns the key to the 

IGNITION ON 

position. 

ii. 

The LED is totally disabled and will not flash –it will turn on solid, however, when in 

valet mode. 

iii. 

The LED will flash once the starter kill is activated but requires pressing the 

UNLOCK

 

button to turn itself off.  Failure to press the 

UNLOCK

 button will make the LED flash 

even if the key is in the 

IGNITION ON

 position. 

Safe Start 

If this feature is enabled, the user must press the 

START/STOP

 button 2 times within 3 seconds to 

remote-start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing 

with the transmitter. 

If 

swap start mode 

is selected, to remote-start your vehicle, press the 

FUNCTION 

button and then 

the 

LOCK

 button. The 

AUX 2

 output can be activated by pressing the 

START/STOP

 button. 

Home Valet 

TM

 

If this feature is installed, the user will have the possibility to remotely set the vehicle to a no-

remote-start mode. See home valet section, on page 4, for full instructions. 

Ignition-Controlled Door Locks 

This is an added security feature. If your remote starter was installed with the ignition-controlled 

door locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is turned to the 

IGNITION ON (RUN)

 position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the 

OFF

 position, 

the doors will automatically be unlocked.
