NO FACTORY KEYLESS ENTRY AFTER REMOTE START
Most new cars Do Not allow the factory Remote Keyless Entry to function with the Ignition ON. This means you can’t
use the factory remote to lock or unlock the doors. After remote start you have to use the keys to unlock the door.
Also, many new vehicles unlock the doors when disarming the factory alarm. This leaves the doors unlocked while
Remote Started. To resolve this problem, have your installer connect the door locks to the Remote Start Keyless
Entry. The Remote Starter will Re-Lock the doors after remote starting (programmable).
When you return to a remote started vehicle, just press the Unlock button on the remote control. On RS1-G5, the
Start button can be programmed to unlock the doors (option 23-1), Consult your installer.
Note: There are 3 Remote Start Options (see page 7). The options are: 1/2 second press (Default), 2 second
press or Double button press.
REMOTE START DIAGNOSTICS
If the system flashes the LED and Parking Lights one to seven times and doesn’t attempt remote start. The
LED will continue to flash the error code until the ignition is turned on, it means the following:
1 Parking Light Flash (1 LED Flash) = Problem with Brake Switch.
2 Parking Light Flashes (2 LED Flashes) = Problem with Hood Switch.
3 Parking Light Flashes (Solid LED) = Valet Service Mode.
5 Parking Light Flashes (5 LED Flashes) = Ignition or Tach Problem.
7 Parking Light Flashes (7 LED Flashes) = Manual Transmission Error.
Be sure to tell your installer the Diagnostic code when taking vehicle in for service
SYSTEM IS UNSUCCESSFUL AT REMOTE START DURING EXTREME COLD CONDITIONS:
Please be aware that during sub-freezing conditions your remote starter may take more that one attempt to start or it
may not successfully start the vehicle after 3 attempts. During these conditions the vehicle may not properly start
even using the key; therefore trying to start by the remote would also be unsuccessful.
