Remote-Starting Your Vehicle 

Remote-starting 

Press the 

START/ STOP

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

ON

 to inform you 

that the Remote Car 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. 

Driving Off 

With the vehicle running under remote control, press the 

UNLOCK

 button to disarm and unlock the 

doors. Enter the vehicle and do the following: 

 

Turn the ignition key to the 

IGNITION ON (RUN)

 position. (

Do not turn the key 

to the 

CRANK

 

position while the engine is running. This would cause the starter motor to re-engage.) 

 

Press the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter unit. 

You are now ready to drive off. 

Remote Starter Features 

Idle Mode 

Convenience feature:

 Idle Mode allows you to keep the engine running and the doors 

locked while you stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery. 

This feature allows you to let the remote starter take over control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in the 
Ignition Switch) while the engine is running. For example, if you stop for a delivery or at a conveni-
ence store, lock your vehicle and leave it running for the length of a run cycle while you are away. 

To leave the vehicle in Idle Mode: 

1.

 

With the engine running, press the 

LOCK

 or 

UNLOCK

 button (to unlock the doors) or the 

START/ STOP

 button on the remote control until the parking lights come on. 

2.

 

Remove the key and exit the vehicle. The engine will go on running. 

3.

 

Lock the doors if needed. 

The engine will go on running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of the 
Engine Run Time. 

Caution!!!

 Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode. 

Valet Mode 

When your vehicle is in Valet Mode, the remote starter functionalities are disabled. If the vehicle 
needs to be serviced, or if you park it indoors, the Valet Mode will prevent the engine from being 
remote-started accidentally. 

Ignition Valet 

This feature will allow you to remotely put your system into Valet Mode by using the ignition key 
instead of the Valet button as above. Ignition Valet can be used without a Valet button installed. 

To put the system  i n t o   Valet Mode: 

 

Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch. Within 10 sec.,  
turn the key 5 times successively into the 

IGNITION ON / RUN

 and 

OFF

 positions. 

 

The parking lights will flash three times to indicate that the vehicle is now in Valet Mode. 
The L.E.D. will come 

ON

 solid. 

To take the system  o u t   o f   Valet Mode: 

 

Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch. Within 10 sec.,
