Remote-Starting Your Vehicle 

Setting Your Vehicle into Ready Mode 

This product is designed for vehicles with a manual transmission only. In order to start the vehicle 
by remote, the unit must first be set to Ready Mode. If the unit is not set to Ready Mode, it cannot 
remote-start the vehicle. Once the system is set to Ready Mode, the vehicle can be remote-started 
and stopped at wish. The system will exit Ready Mode if a door or the hood is opened, if the brake 
pedal is pressed, if the parking brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the 

IGNITION ON 

(RUN)

 position. 

To set the system to Ready Mode: 
1.

 

Ensure that all the doors are closed and that the shifter is in the neutral position. 

2.

 

With the engine already running, apply the parking brake and release the brake pedal. 
Make sure to release the brake pedal. 

3.

 

Within 20 sec. press 

LOCK

UNLOCK

 or

 on the transmitter.

4.

c.

 to shut down the engine without affecting the doors. 

Remaining In Ready Mode 

Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can start and stop the vehicle at wish. However, should 
any of the following occur, the vehicle will exit Ready Mode – thus eliminating the remote start 
option until Ready Mode is restored: 

 

Door opened; 

 

Hood opened; 

 

Brake pedal pressed; 

 

Parking brake disengaged; 

 

Ignition key turned to the 

IGNITION ON (RUN)

 position. 

Should any of the above occur, Ready Mode will be cancelled. 

Note:  The unit will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving 3 slow flashes 
(parking lights). 

Remote-starting 

Press the 

START

 button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come

 to inform you that the 

Remote Car Starter has received your signal. Approximately 5 seconds later, the engine will start. 
The parking lights will remain 

ON

 during the pre-programmed run time of the engine. If the vehicle 

does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds and try to start the 
engine again. There will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up.
