Remote Door Locks 

If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Remote Door Locks option, you will have the 
convenience of remote keyless entry. See section Arming and Disarming the Remote Car 
Starter
, earlier in this Guide, for further instructions on remote door locking and unlocking. 

Priority Door Access 

If the Remote Door Locks option is installed on your vehicle, this safety feature allows you unlock 
solely the driver’s door with a single press of the 

UNLOCK

 button on the transmitter; upon a second 

press of the 

UNLOCK

 button, all the other doors will unlock. 

Active or Passive Arming 

The Starter Kill can be configured either to Passive Mode (so as to arm automatically) or Active 
Mode (so as to require user intervention for arming). By default, your Remote Car Starter is 
configured to Passive Mode. In Passive Mode, the Starter Kill will automatically arm 60 seconds 
after the last door is closed. The Remote Car Starter will not arm if a door is left open, or if you re-
open a door within the 60-second delay. 

Important note: When the Remote Car Starter re-arms automatically, you can disarm the 
When the Remote Car Starter by simply pressing the 

UNLOCK

 button.

With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition 
key when the Starter Kill is armed. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Starter Kill
