The Status Light (cont’d)
5) Flashing Fast (after activating remote start): The system is in the process of start-
ing the engine.
Remote Starting Diagnostics
whenever the system is placed into Valet Mode, the Status Light illuminates
solid. However, when this first occurs, the Status Light will flash 1 to 6 flashes be
-
fore resuming solid illumination. This indicates why the engine stopped running from
the last previous remote starting attempt.
6) 1 Flash = Programmed run time expired.
7) 2 Flashes = Brake was pressed or hood opened.
8) 3 Flashes = Engine stalled or bad tach signal.
9) 4 Flashes = Received transmitter command to stop.
10) 5 Flashes = gear selector removed from “park”.
11) 6 Flashes = Low voltage.
Code Jumping
TM
Technology
with the proper equipment, it’s quite easy for a criminal to “grab” your transmitter
code from the air and use it at a later time to gain access to your vehicle contents
and potentially your home! Code jumping technology uses a complex algorithm to
change the transmitter’s codes every time a button is pressed. Only the system in
your car has the key to decipher this code and it can not be replicated.
Automatic Transmitter Verification

There is also the potential threat of someone, who has temporary access to your
vehicle, programming their own transmitter to your system. For example, a mechan-
ic, car wash attendant, or valet could do so and gather your personal info from any
paper work in your vehicle. Then, they could visit your home and help themselves
to the contents of your vehicle without any signs of intrusion. Many crimes go un-
noticed and people assume they have misplaced their belongings. ATV

shows you
how many transmitters are programmed to your system every time you turn on the
ignition key for a 10 second period. Then, you can easily identify if transmitters have
been added to your system.
