SAFETY SEQUENCE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES
Your remote starter was designed to force you to perform a series of actions that will ensure that the gearshift lever is in
neutral position when you exit the vehicle.
This series of actions is called a "Safety sequence" and is aimed at preventing any remote start in situations where remote
starting the engine would not be safe.
Should the hatchback or any door be opened at any time, the intrusion will be detected and the safety sequence will be
cancelled by the system, thus preventing a remote start. In such cases, the sequence must be repeated to allow for an
eventual remote start.
The system offers two execution modes for the sequence. These options must be set at time of installation. The first mode is
initiated by the parking brake and the other by the remote control.
The safety sequence must be performed as follows.
SEQUENCE ACTIVATED BY THE PARKING BRAKE .
1. While engine is running (key in ignition switch), apply the brakes and hold the pedal down.
2. Move gearshift lever to neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake
Once Twice
Note: The system can be set - at time of installation - to require that the parking brake be applied once or twice.
If set for two actuations, pause one second between the two.
4. Remove key from ignition (the system keeps the engine running).
5. Exit the vehicle.
6. Within 60 seconds, close all doors.
7. The system will stop the engine and blink the parking brakes once to confirm the sequence is valid (vehicle is
ready for a remote start command).
SEQUENCE ACTIVATED BY THE REMOTE CONTROL
1. While engine is running (key in ignition switch), apply the brakes and hold the pedal down.
2. Move gearshift lever to neutral.
3. Apply parking brake.
4. Send the start command (Model 801 & 2101
- Model 903 ).
5. Remove key from ignition (the system keeps the engine running).
6. Exit the vehicle.
7. Using the remote, send the STOP command. The system will stop the engine and parking lights will blink once
to confirm that the sequence is valid (vehicle is ready for a remote start command).
NOTES : If you release the brake pedal and depress it once more during or after the execution of the safety sequence, the
safety sequence will be invalidated and any remote start will be impossible.
If the engine stops when the key is removed from the ignition, the safety sequence is invalid.
Perform a new safety sequence. If problem persists, consult your installer.
PREPARING SYSTEM
When you exit the vehicle, you need to prepare the remote starter for its next use.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, make sure that the remote starter system has detected a
valid safety sequence.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, make sure that the transmission lever is in the "P"
position.
• Set heating/air conditioning controls to desired position (when the remote starter starts your engine, it will also
turn on your climate control system).
• Turn your windshield wipers to the OFF position to avoid strain on the mechanism should a start command be
sent to the vehicle when, for example, heavy snow immobilizes the wipers.
• Make sure that the headlights are turned off.
• Make sure that you do not leave your keys inside the vehicle.
