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/STOP
button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come
ON
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.
Vehicle Presets
Heater & Heated Seat
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as heated seats (if
equipped) should not be left on
HIGH
. It is recommended to leave the settings on
LOW
or
MEDIUM
instead.
Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wiper and / or headlight circuits to become
energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the
windshield wiper and headlight switches are
OFF
. Leaving the headlight switch
ON
on certain types
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.
