LED #1 LED #3 LED #2 LED #4 Vehicle Presets Picture serves as example only Heater & 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 & 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.
Remote-Starting your Vehicle Page 4 Remote-Starting Press the START/STOP button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON to inform you that the remote 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 reengage.) 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 convenience 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 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 Modes Page 5 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. Valet Switch To put the system into valet mode: Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch. Turn the key into the IGNITION ON position. Press the Programming button on the XSTART module 3 times. The parking lights will flash once to indicate that the vehicle is now in valet mode. The LED will come ON solid. To take the system out of valet mode: Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch. Turn the key into the IGNITION ON position. Press the Programming button on the XSTART module 3 times. The parking lights will flash once to indicate that the vehicle is now out of valet mode. The LED will flash. Note: With the valet mode activated, the remote starter functions will be disabled. Remote Valet Mode This feature will allow you to remotely put your system into valet mode by using the transmitter instead of the valet button as above. Getting into valet mode: Hold the UNLOCK and START/STOP buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The parking lights will flash once. The LED will remain on solid. Getting out of valet mode Hold the UNLOCK and START/STOP buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The parking lights will flash once. The LED will flash.

Advanced Features Installation-Programmable Options Page 7 The remote starter was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. With its programmable options, this unit can single-handedly control nearly any electrical system in your vehicle. Caution: The programming of your system should be left to a professional. Changing any one of the settings may affect the operation of your remote starter. Remote Door Locks If your remote starter was installed with the remote door locks option, you will have the convenience of remote keyless entry. Priority Door Access If the remote door locks option is installed on your vehicle, this safety feature allows you unlock solely the driver s door with a single press of the UNLOCK button on the transmitter; upon a second press of the UNLOCK button, all the other doors will unlock. Ignition-Controlled Door Locks This is an added security feature. If your remote starter was installed with the ignitioncontrolled door locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the OFF position, the doors will automatically be unlocked. Ignition Re-Lock On remote starters of this series, when ignition-controlled door locks are enabled and the ignition key is in the IGNITION ON (RUN) position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors will be relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed. Secure Lock Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the remote starter must first disarm the factory security system. The secure lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory security systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed. To keep your vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start, secure lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle ends, secure lock will rearm your factory security system. Remote Trunk Release If your system was installed with the remote trunk release option, you can open your trunk by pressing the TRUNK button. There will be one beep and LED #3 will flash 3 times.
Turbo Mode Page 8 If turbo mode is configured at installation, it will allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the vehicle: the unit will take over the vehicle and keep it running for 60 seconds (or until it is shut down by remote control), then shut down the engine. Proceed as follows to set the system to Turbo Mode: 1. With the engine already running, press the LOCK button on the transmitter until the parking lights come ON. 2. Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. The engine will go on running. 3. Exit the vehicle and close the door. 4. Press the TRUNK button to lock the doors; the engine will shut down after 60 seconds of Turbo Mode. Engine Run Time If you have a gas engine, your remote starter can be programmed to run the engine for 3, 7, or 15 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the remote starter can be programmed to run the engine for 6, 14, or 30 minutes (30 minutes default). Troubleshooting Transmitting Range Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are: The condition of the battery in the transmitter. The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular phone towers ) Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car. The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor range. The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on standing in front of the vehicle generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range. The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space. Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna. The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory alarm.
