OPERATING ON AUTOMATIC START UP TIMER MODE
Your system has the ability to automatically start the vehicle every 2 or 4 hours over a 48 hour period. This
feature is especially useful in cold climates where the only means to keep the engine and engine fluids warm
is to periodically start the engine.
WARNING! Be certain that the vehicle is outdoors before using this or any remote vehicle starting device. A
running engine produces dangerous carbon monoxide fumes which can be harmful or fatal if
prolonged exposure occurs. DO NOT remote start the vehicle if it is garaged.
TO BEGIN THE AUTOMATIC START UP TIMER
1. Turn the ignition key on then off.
2. Within 10 seconds, activate the RF start command two times. (Press the programmed channel
button of your keychain transmitter 4 times).
The parking lights will flash and the siren will chirp 2 or 4 times indicating the timed start mode is activated.
The vehicle, on a 2 or 4 hour interval basis, dependent on the number of chirps heard when activated
as described above will automatically start, run for the pre-programmed time (5,10,15 or 20 minutes),
and then shut off. This will continue for 48 hours.
NOTE: The automatic start up timer can also be initiated from the keychain transmitter.
To do this:
1. Start the vehicle using the keychain transmitter by pressing and releasing the
second channel transmitter button 2 times.
2. Shut off the vehicle using the keychain transmitter by pressing and releasing the second channel
transmitter button 2 times.
3. Within 10 seconds of step 2, activate the RF start command two times.
(Push the second channel button of your keychain transmitter 4 times).
The parking lights will flash and the siren will chirp 4 times indicating the timed start mode is activated.
CANCELING THE AUTOMATIC START UP TIMER

1. Start the vehicle manually with the use of the ignition key and depress the brake pedal.
2. Remote start the vehicle using your keychain RF transmitter.

system. To do this:
1) With the system unlocked or disarmed, turn the ignition key to the on position.
2) Press and release the Program/Override push-button switch three times
The unit will flash the parking lights and or beep the horn once to indicate that the system is in the transmit-
ter program mode. The LED will also flash one time pause, one time pause, etc... indicating that you are in
the transmitter program mode of the unit’s channel 1 or single button program mode.
3) Press and hold the lock button of each additional transmitter you wish to operate your system.
NOTE: The unit is capable of storing up to 4 transmitters. If a fifth transmitter is added, the first transmitter
programmed will be bumped out.
Once all transmitter have been programmed, turn the ignition switch off to exit the program mode.
The system allows priority button programming in case you intend to operate two vehicle with one transmit-
ter. In this instance you will program the default button combination, (One Button Programming), for the
main vehicle you drive, and a different combination for the second vehicle so you are not unlocking, locking,
or starting both vehicles when they are within range of each other.
