THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control can access four distinct remote starters.
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 a weak battery, 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 eight short beeps during the
transmission, i.e. about one second after the button was pressed.
Your remote control can transmit on four different channels, allowing control of four separate
vehicles. Only the “Panic” command is transmitted on both channels simultaneously.
To select a different channel, press the “P” button located on the back and hold it for 2
secondes, when the button is released the transmitter passes to the next channel.
The remote control shown may differ from that included in the kits.
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 (seat, mirror and other) when unlocking certain vehicles (additional optional equipment required).
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 confirmations are sent to all the programmed remote.
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
(
). The start module will inform you of the status of door locks, alarm, and running of the engine.
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 to indicate that the command has not been
received by neither the module nor the transmitter.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
The LCD of the 4-button remote has a battery icon telling you when to replace the battery.
We strongly recommend keeping a replacement battery in your glove compartment.
The remote controls require one AAA battery. See your dealer for spare batteries.
To replace the battery, slide the latch sideways and remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control case,
remove old battery and replace it with a new one.
Make sure the battery is placed the right way (see pictogram inside the cover).
