START COMMANDS 
STARTING THE ENGINE 

To start engine, press 

 button. 

The system automatically adjusts ignition duration for your type of vehicle; parking lights flash once (duration: four seconds) 
then stay on all the time when the engine is running.  
If more than one command is sent, each successive start command resets the runtime to the beginning, parking lights flash 
once to confirm command has been received and horn sounds once (programmable during installation) to let you know 
engine is already running.

When the start command is emitted,  

the system will immediately send a confirmation 

 that the vehicle is ready to start 

 

or 

 

the following confirmation if the vehicle is not ready  

(ex.: the vehicle won't start if the hood is open). 

   

 

Red (Solid) 

Successful start 

 

(Animated fan) 

If the vehicle is ready to start, the system will automatically change 

to the start cycle and send another confirmation only if the 

command was successfully executed. The system can take a few 

seconds to send back the confirmation.

F ENGINE DOES NOT START

 

If your system cannot start engine at first attempt, it will wait a few seconds then try again; it could try again twice depending 
on reason for failure to start.  
After three attempts, it will shut down automatically and wait for a new command. In this case, confirmations sent by the 
vehicle are the same, but remote control does not show any confirmations.

TATUS  

 

 

When this command is sent, the command module checks engine status, protection zones status and lock status, then 
retransmits this information to remote control, which indicates the results on the LCD display with a combination of 
pictograms.  
When remote control receives a confirmation, it flashes the relevant pictograms and vibrates twice. 
If vehicle is out of range, remote control will give a soft chirp after five seconds to indicate that either the control module or 
the remote transmitter could not receive the command. 

ENGINE RUNTIME 

Your engine will stop automatically after a preset runtime. Parking lights will stay on as long as the engine is running.
