SAFETY (Red Handle) CONTROL SWITCH
The control switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote starting function of your
system. To disable the unit, move the red handle control switch to the off position.
The control switch also allows you to select between 2 hour start up and 4 hour start up
when using the automatic start up timer mode. The factory preset start up time for this
mode is every 4 hours. To select between 2 or 4 hour start up timer:
1. Begin with the control switch in the on position
2. Turn the ignition switch on then off
3. Within 10 seconds, move the control switch off, on, off, on (2 switch cycles) to select
a 2 hour start timer. After 10 seconds expire, the parking lights will flash 2 times
confirming that the two hour start cycle is set. Or, within 10 seconds move the control
switch off, on, off, on, off, on, off, on (4 switch cycles) to select a 4 hour start timer.
The parking lights will flash 4 times confirming that the 4 hour start timer is set.
REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE
The system WILL NOT start the vehicle if any one of the following conditions exists:
1. The Vehicle Hood Is Opened.
2. The Gear Selector Is In Any Gear Other Then Park.
3. The Brake Is Depressed.
4. The Safety Control Switch Is In The Off Position.
CAUTION! Be certain that the vehicle is outdoors before using this or any remote vehicle
starting device. A running engine produces dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes which can be harmful or fatal if prolonged exposure occurs. DO NOT
remote start the vehicle if the car is garaged.
To Remote Start The Vehicle:
Press and release the trunk/key button of your keychain transmitter two times within 2
seconds. The vehicle will start and remain running for the pre-programmed 5, 10, 15 or 20
minutes. As a visual indication, the parking lights will flash or turn on dependent on the
programming set up by your installation center.
When you arrive at your vehicle, unlock it with the key or by pressing and releasing the
trunk/key button of your keychain transmitter. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to
the on position.
CAUTION! Do not turn the key to the start position. This will cause the starter motor to
engage with the already running engine which could result in damage. Step
on the brake pedal to disengage the remote start unit. The vehicle will con-
tinue to run but now on it's own power.
NOTE: The engine will stop running before the expiration of the pre-programmed run timer
or if you complete any of the following:
1. Press and release the trunk/key button of your keychain transmitter two times within 2
seconds.

programmed time (5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes), and then shut off. This will continue for 48
hours.

1. Start the vehicle using the keychain transmitter by pressing and releasing the trunk/
key button transmitter button 2 times.
