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 the remote starter
shuts down, resulting in a dead battery.
Arming the Starter Kill
If installed, the Starter Kill can be programmed to arm in Active Mode (will not arm
automatically) or in Passive Mode (will arm automatically).
To disarm the Starter Kill in Active or Passive Mode, press the UNLOCK button on the trans-
mitter. The parking lights will flash twice. (If Remote Door Locks were installed, this will
also unlock the doors.) In Passive Mode, the system will automatically rearm 1 or 3
minutes after the doors were unlocked.
To arm the Starter Kill in Active or Passive Mode, press and hold the LOCK button on the
transmitter. The parking lights will flash once. (If Remote Door Locks were installed, this
will also lock the doors). In Passive Mode, the system will automatically arm 1 or 3 minutes
after the engine is shut down.
Remote-starting Your Vehicle
Setting the system to Ready Mode
This unit is designed for Manual Transmissions only. In order to remote-start the vehicle, the
Unit must first be set to Ready mode. If the Unit is not set to Ready Mode, it cannot remote-
start the vehicle. Once the system has been set to Ready Mode, the vehicle can be remote
started and stopped at will (as long as the Unit never exits Ready Mode).
1. Ensure that all the Doors are closed and that the Gear Lever is in the Neutral
position.
2. With the Engine already running, apply the Parking Brake.
3. Within 20 sec. press LOCK, UNLOCK or START/STOP on the Transmitter.
The Parking Lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the Engine will go on running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close the Door.
6. Press either:
a. LOCK to lock the Doors, arm the Alarm and shut down the Engine;
b. UNLOCK to unlock the Doors and shut down the Engine;
c. START/STOP to shut down the Engine without affecting the Doors or;
d. TRUNK to lock all Doors and engage idle mode.
Remaining in Ready Mode
Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can start and stop the vehicle at wish. However, if
any one of the following events occurs, the vehicle will exit Ready Mode – thus eliminating
the remote start option until Ready Mode is restored:
Door opened;
Hood opened;
Brakes pressed;
Parking Brake disengaged;
Key turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
Should any of the above occur, Ready Mode will be cancelled.
Note: The unit will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving three slow flashes
of the vehicle’s Parking Lights.
