SETTING THE UNIT INTO READY MODE
This UNIT is designed for MANUAL transmission only, therefore must be set into READY-MODE in
order to remote start the vehicle.
If the system is not in READY-MODE the vehicle CANNOT be started by remote. Once the system has
been set into READY-MODE the vehicle can be started and stopped as many times as you wish, however
should the DOORS / HOOD or TRUNK be opened without the vehicle running under remote start, the
system will exit READY-MODE.
To set the system into READY-MODE you must do the following:
1. Ensure all the doors and Hood are closed.
2. With the engine already running make sure shifter is in neutral.
3. Apply the Parking brake.
4. Within 20 sec. push LOCK / UNLOCK or START button on transmitter.
5. PARKING LIGHTS will flash 3 times quickly, and stays ON.
6. Remove the key and the vehicle will stay running.
7. Exit the vehicle and close all doors.
8. Press and hold either the LOCK or START button until the vehicle shuts down.
(Pressing the LOCK button will also lock the doors.)
NOTE: If no button is pressed, the system will run for 15 minutes, shut OFF and stay in READY-
MODE without locking the doors.
REMAINING IN READY MODE
Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can start and stop the vehicle at will.
However, should any of the following occur, the vehicle will exit Ready Mode thus eliminating the remote
start option until Ready Mode is restored.
1. Doors opened.
2. Hood opened.
3. Brakes pressed.
4. Parking brake disengaged.
5. Key turned to the ON position.
Should any of the above occur, ready mode will be cancelled.
*NOTE: The unit will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving three slow flashes of
the vehicle’s PARKING LIGHTS.
CLUTCH BYPASSING
Most manual transmission vehicles will require the clutch to be pressed in order for the vehicle to
CRANK. This is true under remote start as well, so a clutch bypass must be performed.
A simple thing to look for when performing a bypass is the maker of vehicle you are working on. Typically,
most domestic vehicles have a direct feed wire at the clutch switch. This means that the starter wire in the
vehicle becomes continuous with +12 volts when the clutch is pressed.
Import cars typically have a relay that is controlled with the clutch pedal. This means that when the clutch is
pressed it will send a negative signal to a relay, allowing the vehicle to start.
Always test first.
PARKING BRAKE WIRE
The system has a parking brake input; this input is used as part of the Ready Mode sequence and
must be connected. This input is supposed to be a ground. All vehicles are equipped with a parking
brake, and all use a negative signal.
The easiest location to find this wire is at the parking brake housing. There will usually only be one wire
coming off the housing thus eliminating the chance of error.
Always test first.
