THE REMOTE CONTROL
A maximum of four remote controls can be assigned to your vehicle. See your dealer for additional remote controls.
NOTE: The range of your remote control can be affected by weak batteries, interference from nearby metal structures,
hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.
USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
To send a command, press for two seconds on the appropriate button.
Command may not be sent if the button is not pressed long enough.
The remote control beeps when a button is pressed, then emits ten short beeps
during the transmission.
Your remote control can transmit on two different channels, allowing control of
two separate vehicles. Only the “Panic” command is transmitted on both
channels simultaneously.
An audible confirmation (piezo) is emitted along with a visual confirmation (LED
indicator) each time a command is sent.
The remote control pictured may differ from that included in the kit.
Your system may be programmed in such a way that it can distinguish between
two groups of remote controls (maximum: two remotes per group). These groups
let you activate predefined settings on certain vehicles (seat, mirror and other),
for example, when unlocking (additional optional equipment required).
TRANSMISSION OF A COMMAND
CHANNEL 1
To transmit a command
on channel 1, press desired
button for two seconds.
CHANNEL 2
To transmit a command on channel 2, press desired button, then as soon as a beep is
heard, release the button for a moment then press it again and hold it down for two
seconds. The remote beeps twice to confirm transmission on channel 2.
As soon as a command is sent, the remote switches over to standby mode in order to receive and display confirmations
sent by the command module installed in the vehicle.
These signals are transmitted only once and could be neutralized by radio or electromagnetic interferences generated by
electronic devices in the vicinity.
If no confirmation is received in a given location, move away from electronic devices and activate the "Status" command
(
then ). The start module will inform you of the status of door locks, alarm, and running of the engine (See Table of
commands on page 6).
Note that the communication between the vehicle and the transmitter operates in only one direction at a time. This is why it
is recommended to wait for the confirmation before sending another command. Otherwise, the vehicle and the transmitter
could transmit at the same time wich would block the command as well as the returned confirmation.
Out of range
If the vehicle is out of range, the transmitter will emit a soft chirp after 3 seconds and all the buttons will flash except those
that where pressed to send the commande to indicate that the command has not been received by neither the module nor
the transmitter.
CONFIRMATIONS EMITTED BY THE REMOTE
Each time a command is transmitted, the system returns a confirmation acknowledging the command was received.
The confirmation consists of the blinking of the LEDs used to transmit the command.
