DIAGNOSING PROBLEMS

ƒ

Poor transmitting range 

There are many factors that affect operating range.  Some of these are: 

x

Battery condition 

x

Operating environment (Downtown RF noise) 

x

Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range.  Range in a 

crowded parking lot will be significantly lower than open space. 

x

Transmitter orientation: always hold the transmitter high; 

approximately shoulder height. Holding the transmitter under the chin 
will improve performance.  Try it! 

ƒ

Engine does not start 

If the engine does not start, check the following: 

x

Is the transmitter LED working? If not, check the battery . 

x

Are you pressing the transmitter long enough?  Press the transmitter 

until the Parking lights activate. 

x

Check the Valet switch.  When the power is turned ON, the Parking 

lights will flash twice to confirm power up. 

VALET MODE

remote keyless entry. Button 2 (START) will start the vehicle. Button 3

the Valet switch is in the ON position. Press START, for about 1 second 

(or 4 

to 5 if the Child Proof feature was enabled by your installer).

 Once the Button 

has been pressed the Parking lights will come ON to inform you that the unit 
has received your signal, and has begun the start process. The car should be
