PLEASE READ ENTIRE MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Ready Start! Remote Car Starter. The Ready Start! Remote Car Starter system allows you to start the car by remote control
from the comfort of your home or office in order to cool it down in the summer or heat it up in the winter. Ready Start! is an extremely sophisticated system with
multiple built-in safety and security features.
Ready Start! is for
automatic transmission/fuel injected vehicles only
(a special “carburetor kit” is required for older carbureted vehicles). Ready Start! has a
built-in transponder security bypass system. However, additional parts may be required for certain vehicles (please see pages 8-10 for information on factory anti-
theft systems).
Ready Start! Remote Car Starter:
• Will start your car by remote control from up to 1,000 feet away, and run
the heater, defroster, or air conditioner to warm up or cool down the car.
• Is designed to start the car if it is in park, and only if the hood is
closed.
• Has Lock, Unlock and Trunk Pop keyless entry features.
• Will attempt to start the car for up to six seconds, but no longer (to avoid
damage to the starter motor). Should the car not start, or if it stalls after
starting, the remote starter will make two further attempts to start it.
• Has alarm functions including starter kill which becomes active when the
doors are locked with the remote control.
• Will not let the car be driven without the key in the ignition.
• Shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (programmable) if
you forget to come out to your car.
• Will shut off if the brake pedal is pushed, the hood is opened, or the
transmission is shifted out of park - unless the key is in the ignition and in
the “run” position.
• Allows you to remove the key while leaving the car running with the doors
locked for up to 10 or 15 minutes utilizing the Quick Stop™ Option (See
Separate User Tip Sheet).
• Can start the vehicle automatically whenever the temperature drops below
0
°
F (-18
°
C), or if the battery voltage drops below 11 volts when the Cold
Start™ Option is used (See Separate User Tip Sheet).
• Is the first remote car starter with a built-in transponder anti-theft bypass
module.
• Is quality engineered, microprocessor controlled, and assembled in the
USA to provide many years of reliable use.
• Comes with a Limited Two Year Warranty.
