of vehicles could cause them to remain 

ON

 even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead 

battery. 

Driving Off 

With the vehicle running under remote control, press the 

UNLOCK

 button to disarm and unlock the 

doors. Enter the vehicle and do the following: 

 

Turn the ignition key to the 

IGNITION ON (RUN)

 position. (Do not turn the key to the 

CRANK

 

position while the engine is running. This would cause the starter motor to re-engage.) 

 

Press the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter unit. 

You are now ready to drive off. 

Using the Remote Car Starter 

Arming the Starter Kill 

The Starter Kill (if installed) can be configured by the installer so as to arm automatically (Passive 
Mode) or not to arm automatically (Active Mode). See section Passive or active arming, later in 
this guide, for more details on Passive Mode and Active Mode. 

 

 To 

disarm the Starter Kill, press the 

UNLOCK

 button on the transmitter. 

 

The parking lights will flash twice.  

 

If remote door locks are installed, this will also unlock the doors. 

 

 To 

arm the Starter Kill, press the 

LOCK

 button on the transmitter. 

 

The parking lights will flash once.  

 

If remote door locks are installed, this will also lock the doors. 

 

In Passive Mode, the Starter Kill will automatically arm if the ignition key is not inserted 

 

Into the ignition switch within 1 or 3 minutes after unlocking (the key sense feature  

 

must be installed). 

Idle Mode 

Convenience feature: Idle Mode allows you to keep the engine running and the doors 
locked while you stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery. 

This feature allows you to let the remote starter take over control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in the 
Ignition Switch) while the engine is running. For example, if you stop for a delivery or at a conveni-
ence store, lock your vehicle and leave it running for the length of a run cycle while you are away. 
Idle Mode can be activated through the same routine as that used for Ready Mode; at the last step, 
the 

TRUNK

 button is pressed instead of the other buttons: 

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. push 

LOCK

UNLOCK

 or 

START

 on the Transmitter. 

The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit. 

4.

 

Remove the key: the Engine will go on running. 

5.

 

Exit the vehicle and close the Door. 

6.

 

Press the 

TRUNK

 button until the system is armed (the doors will be locked if remote 

door lock is installed). 

If the pre-programmed run-time expires or if the user shuts down the engine by remote control, the 
vehicle will get in Ready Mode. 

Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode.
