SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

¾Always turn off main switch when vehicle is parked in an enclosed, unventilated area

or is in for servicing.

¾Always turn off main switch when not using your Remote Starter for extended periods

of time.

¾Keep remote controls away from children.

¾Have your engine tuned regularly to ensure optimum performance of your Remote

Starter.

¾Make sure your windshield wipers are turned off before leaving vehicle.

¾Check safety features regularly; they prevent your Remote Starter from operating

under certain conditions. (See “SAFETY CHECKS”.)

¾Make sure you comply with all local regulations which may prohibit leaving your engine

running when vehicle is unattended in a public place.

¾Always advise service personnel that your vehicle is equipped with a Remote Starter.

¾We strongly recommend that you have your Remote Starter checked annually.

Contact the dealer in your area.

BEFORE USING YOUR REMOTE STARTER

Before leaving your vehicle, set the various controls in order to use your Remote

Starter.

Set heating/air-conditioning to desired position. (When Remote Starter starts your

engine, it will also turn on your climate control system.)

Make sure:

¾windshield wipers are “OFF”.

¾gearshift is in NEUTRAL;

¾hand brake is ON;

¾system has beeped once to confirm that it is ready to receive a command. 7

7The system generates the beep to send a code every time key is not in ignition and

brakes are applied, or every time key is turned from “ON” to “OFF”.

Code 1 System ready.

If system beeps more than once (i.e., sends a code other than Code 1), refer to

following table to rectify situation.

Code 2 Gearshift is not in NEUTRAL.

Code 3 Hand brake is not ON properly.

Code 4 Sequence not recognized U.

Code 5 Programming problem. Contact your service center.

Code 6 Internal communication problem. Consult your service center.

UThis sequence is part of your Remote Starter’s safety system which constantly

checks position of your gearshift. This sequence is reset every time gearshift is moved

from any gear into neutral while hand brake is off.

RS-213

REMOTE CONTROL

Your remote control works off a small, long-life 12-volt alkaline battery (GP-23A) that

should last up to 6 months. Range of your remote control can be affected by a weak

battery, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.

With an electronic CODE LEARNING device, up to three additional remote controls can

be programmed for your vehicle. See your dealer for replacement batteries or additional

remote controls.

USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

(1-, 2- or 3-button remote)

To make sure that commands are transmitted properly, press desired button for 2

seconds. Indicator light will flash momentarily then remain on while transmitting

command. A command will not be transmitted properly if you do not press button long

enough (i.e., until indicator light goes out by itself).

Example: To start, press button "A” until indicator light goes out.

CONFIRMING COMMANDS

In most cases, your system will confirm that command has been received properly. This

will be done either by sounding horn (if horn was connected during installation) or

flashing parking lights. In this manual, confirmation signals are written in an abbreviated

form; for example:

(horn: 1, lights: 2) Means that horn will sound once and parking lights will flash twice.

Confirmation of these three commands can be programmed as ACTIVE or INACTIVE

during installation. When programmed as INACTIVE, there is no confirmation.

* Function “B” on 2-button remote control corresponds to command “A&B”.

* Function “A&B on 2-button remote control corresponds to command “A&C”.

Shaded areas correspond to

options that can be programmed

during installation. A maximum of

two of these commands can be

selected; see option list opposite.

installation and if so, check 9appropriate box.

START COMMANDS

STARTING AND STOPPING YOUR ENGINE

To start your engine, enter command from table (horn: 0, lights: 1). System

automatically sets ignition contact time depending on your vehicle. Parking lights will

stay on all the time engine is running.

To stop engine, enter same command.

Trigger input

Your Remote Starter is equipped with a negative trigger input. This input can

be connected to another remote control device or timer output. If this input is

connected, consult device manual or ask your technician which command is

associated with start/stop function. All start/stop functions controlled by this

input operate in same way as input controlled by remote control.

RS-213

START ONLY

With horn confirmation.

Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.

This command sounds the horn to confirm your vehicle has started when you cannot

see it. Enter command from table; if command has been received properly, you will get

a confirmation (horn: 1, lights: 1). Remote Starter will then send another message to

confirm that engine has started properly (horn: 2, lights: 1). Parking lights will remain on

all the time engine is running. You may repeat this command as often as you wish; it

does not stop engine.

CONTINUOUS MODE

Continuous Mode consists of sending a “Start” command while engine is already

running with key in ignition so that you can then remove ignition key. This mode allows

you to leave engine running when you leave vehicle for a short period of time and also

leaves heating/air-conditioning system on.

Enter a “Start” command while engine is running. Parking lights, engine and preset

accessories will stay on for programmed time. Remove key, exit vehicle and lock doors.

Steering column will be locked and all safety devices will remain active.

SENTINEL (LOW TEMPERATURE) MODE

Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.

In Sentinel Mode, system can start your engine automatically when temperature falls

below -15ºC (5ºF). Engine will run for programmed time, after which Sentinel Mode will

wait 2½ hours and then start engine again if temperature is still below -15ºC (5ºF). All

actions that normally stop engine when it is started by remote control (applying brakes,

opening hood, etc.) have same effect in this mode.

To activate Sentinel Mode

Enter command from table (horn: 0, lights: 1).

Lights will flash once then, if temperature is below -15ºC (5ºF), engine will start

after a 4½-second pause. This pause lets you distinguish between a regular

start and an automatic (low temperature) start. If temperature is above -15ºC

(5ºF), Sentinel waits until it goes below -15ºC (5ºF) before starting. If system

cannot execute command (for example, hood is open), confirmation will be

different (horn: 0, lights: 3).

To deactivate this mode, enter command again (horn: 0, lights: 2).

RS-213

UPON ENTERING YOUR VEHICLE ...

¾Do not apply brakes; this will turn off engine immediately. U

¾Insert ignition key and turn it to “ON” position.

WARNING: DO NOT TURN IGNITION KEY TO “START” POSITION.

¾Drive as usual.

URemember that engine will also stop if hand brake is released or gearshift is moved

before turning key to “ON” position.

WHAT WILL STOP YOUR ENGINE

For your safety, engine will not start or will stop if:

¾Remote control sends a stop message.

¾Hood is open.

¾Brakes are applied.

¾Gearshift is not in “NEUTRAL”.

¾Hand brake is not ON properly.

¾Engine exceeds 3000 rpm.

¾Main switch is OFF.

MAIN SWITCH

Main switch is usually installed under dashboard.

It is a toggle ON/OFF switch that is used to

cancel start functions only.

It does not disable other commands which

remain active.

RS-213

DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK COMMANDS

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS

If your vehicle is equipped with electric door locks, several functions can be operated by

remote control. These features are optional and may require purchasing additional

equipment. Consult your dealer for advice.

Following systems can be controlled:

¾door locks;

¾opening trunk or unlocking tailgate;

¾interior lights.

Locking doors

Enter “Lock” command from table (horn: 0, lights: 1) or ((horn: 0, lights: 0) ❁

This function locks doors when ignition key is in “ON” position, engine is running and

brakes are applied. Doors are unlocked when key is turned from “ON” to “OFF” or when

Continuous Mode is activated.

RS-213

OTHER COMMANDS

DOME LIGHT

Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.

Dome light will turn on for 30 seconds every time “Unlock” command is sent. This 30-

second duration is cancelled when “Lock” command is sent or brakes are applied.

CAR FINDER

Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.

This function sounds horn on and off and flashes parking lights to help you locate your

vehicle in a large parking lot or deter potential vehicle thieves or assailants by attracting

attention.

minute is up by repeating command or applying brakes.

CONTROLLED OUTPUT

Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.

This command controls one of your vehicle’s accessories depending on which one was

connected during installation (headlights, defroster, etc.). For details, consult your

technician.

Enter command from table. Controlled output is activated for one second or one minute,

depending on initial programming. When output has been programmed for one minute,

you can deactivate it by repeating command.

ENGINE RUNTIME

Your engine will stop automatically after a preset time. Parking lights will stay on as long

as engine is running. Runtime is programmable during installation. Manufacturer preset

time is 15 minutes but you can have it changed to suit your needs.

IF ENGINE FAILS TO START

If your system cannot start your vehicle at first attempt, it will wait a few seconds and

then try again (it could try again twice depending on reason for failure to start), after

which it will shut down automatically and wait for new command.
