Your 4-button/16-channel remote controls
The 4-button/16-channel rosewood-style remote controls are ultra-sophisticated
miniature radio transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 300 feet.
A weak remote control battery will reduce the remote’s range. Electrical interference
and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the system. If this
happens, repeatedly press the button (this works better than holding the button down).
You will use your remote control to arm and disarm the system, start and stop the
engine, lock and unlock the doors, activate the panic feature, adjust the sensors,
enable/exit valet mode, turn on the headlights, override one or both zones of the radar
sensor and command options such as a remote trunk release, garage door interface,
and/or other options.
How to use your keychain remote control
Your remote control can individually command up to 16 different system functions and
options. It’s like having a TV with 16 channels. You change channels (functions) with your
keychain remote control. But instead of putting 16 buttons on the remote control, we made it
easy: First, the button you use the most — button 1 to arm, disarm, lock and unlock — is
larger than the others. Buttons 2, 3 and 4 are the smaller buttons to the right, below and left
of button 1. The LevelShift button on the side of the remote control allows you to select
channels 5–16:
n
To transmit either channel 1, 2, 3 or 4:
Just press either button 1, 2, 3 or 4. For
instance, to transmit channel 3, press
button 3. While you transmit, the LED
indicator will blink once every second:
this indicates level 1.
n
To transmit either channel 5, 6, 7 or 8:
Press the LevelShift button once. This
shifts buttons 1–4 to level 2 (channels
5–8). Then press the desired button
within the next 7 seconds. For instance, to transmit channel 5, press the LevelShift
button once, then press button 1. While you transmit, you’ll notice that the LED
indicator blinks twice, pauses, blinks twice, etc.: this indicates level 2.
n
To transmit channel 9, 10, 11 or 12:
Press the LevelShift button twice. This shifts
buttons 1–4 to level 3 (channels 9–12). Then press the corresponding button
within the next 7 seconds. For instance, to transmit channel 10, press the LevelShift
button twice, then press button 2. While you transmit, you’ll notice that the LED
blinks three times, pauses, blinks three times, etc.: this indicates level 3.
n
To transmit channel 13, 14, 15 or 16:
Press the LevelShift button three times then
press the corresponding button. For instance, to transmit channel 15, press the
LevelShift button twice, then press button 3. While you transmit, you’ll notice that the
LED blinks four times, pauses, blinks four times, etc.: this indicates level 4.
NOTE: One second after you stop transmitting level 2, 3 or 4 (channels 5–16), the
remote control automatically returns to level 1 (channels 1–4).
