Remote-starting Your Vehicle
Press the
START/STOP
button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come
ON
, informing you
that the unit has received your signal. The engine will start approximately 5 seconds later. The
parking lights will remain on during the entire pre-programmed engine run time.
If the vehicle doesn’t start the first time, the system will shut off, wait a few seconds and try to start
the engine again. It will make three start attempts before giving up.
Vehicle Presets
Heater and Heated Seat:
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory
controls in preparation for the next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear,
as well as heated seats (if equipped) should not be left on
HIGH
. It is recommended to leave the
settings on
LOW
or
MEDIUM
instead.
Windshield Wipers, Radio and Headlights:
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield
wiper and / or headlight circuits to become energized while running under remote start. When
leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the windshield wiper and headlight switches are
OFF
.
Leaving the headlight switch
ON
on certain types of vehicles could cause them to remain
ON
even
after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead battery.
Driving Off
With the vehicle running under remote control, press the
UNLOCK
button to disarm the Starter Kill (if

Caution!
Upon entering your vehicle after it has been remote-started,

engage, unless the anti-grind feature is installed.
