To Activate Remote Start:
• The parking lights will flash 3 times.
• The MARS will turn on the ignition circuit, turn the parking lights back on steady, and the
system’s interior Status Light will also start flashing.
• Within a few seconds the parking lights will turn off and the starter will engage.
• The engine will start, run, and the starter will be disengaged.
• The parking lights will turn back on and remain on while the MARS is controlling
the engine. The status light will pause, and then continue to flash slowly.
• Should the engine stall, the MARS will make two attempts to restart it.
MARS-10 MARS-11 :
Press the necessary button or
button combination on the
host system's transmitter.
Press the blue “START”
button on the MARS
system's transmitter.
The MARS-10 is an “add-on” unit operated by use of an existing keyless entry
or alarm system transmitter. The MARS-11 is operated by its own dedicated
single-button transmitter. Therefore the MARS-10 remote start activation proce-
dure will vary; in some cases the host transmitter may have an open button which can
be used for remote starting; in other cases pressing the host transmitter “Lock” button
2 times within 5 seconds will activate remote start. Consult with the installer.

Caution: When such a wire is located, be sure to also test that it is non-rheostated:
While metering the wire, operate the dash light dimmer control. The correct wire will show
no change in voltage when the dimmer is operated. Some vehicles have a parking-light
relay which is triggered by a Negative signal from the headlight switch. In these vehicles,
the White wire must be connected after the relay, usually at the Fuse/Junction Block. Do
NOT connect the White wire directly to the vehicle’s headlights. An external relay is re-
quired. Vehicles having a split parking
light system must be diode-isolated,
with two IN4006 diodes as shown:
The function of the Orange wire is to provide a 500mA Nega-
tive auxiliary output which may be used to operate a starter motor "Anti-Grind" relay, which

diagrams. The correct wire will show 12 Volts only when the headlight switch is in
the "Parking Light" and "Head Light" positions. This wire can usually be found at
the headlight switch, and various other locations within the vehicle, such as the rear body
harness or firewall connector.
