THE REMOTE CONTROLS
Each remote control can control two 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.
U
SING 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 two different channels,
allowing control of two separate vehicles. Only the “Panic”
command is transmitted on both channels simultaneously.
CHANNEL 1
To transmit a command
on channel 1, press desired
button for two seconds.
CHANNEL 2
:
To transmit a command on channel 2, press desired button, then as soon as a beep is
heard, release the button for a moment then press it again and hold it down for two
seconds.
Remote controls shown could 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).
BI-DIRECTIONAL REMOTES
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 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 5 seconds to indicate that the command has not been
received by neither the module nor the transmitter.
The transmitter sends a command every hour in order to determine if it is possible to establish a communication with the
vehicle. After two communications without answer, the transmitter vibrates twice to inform you that the vehicle is out of
range.
The remote vibrates to indicate the communication has been re-established.
R
EPLACING 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).
