Once the Comfort Start is in Valet Mode, an attempt to remote start will in-

stead be acknowledged by 1 long and 3 short parking light flashes, but no start-
ing attempt.  If the horn is connected, it will sound and then chirp 3 times.
- To turn off Valet Mode, simply press the Valet Switch.

The  Receiver  Unit

The Receiver Unit is designed for
mounting directly on the vehicles’ win-
dow glass, which also gives the sys-
tem its best operating range.  Should
this not be possible or desired, the Re-
ceiver Unit may be mounted in a hid-
den location, and provisions are made
for optional separately-mountable Va-
let Switch and Status Light.

switch wire, provided the circuit operates with 1/2 Amp of current or less.  The horn wire
is typically found around
the steering column; the
correct wire will show
Positive 12 Volts norm-
ally, and no voltage when
the horn is being sounded.
If the horn circuit requires
more than 500mA, use
this diagram to config-
ure an optional  relay.

An important part of the Comfort Start system is its Receiver Unit.
As its name implies, the Receiver Unit contains the radio receiver
needed for the system to operate from the hand-held transmitter.
The Receiver Unit also contains the Valet Switch and Status Light;
the operations of which are explained throughout this guide.
