Introduction

The Module is a state-of-the-art remote car starter system. It represents a major breakthrough in vehicle

convenience technology and remote starter systems.

Basic Remote Operation

Your Remote Starter is equipped with a 5-button multi-channel remote transmitter. It can operate two

independent Autostart-equipped vehicles (see Multi-Car Operation for 2nd car transmitter functions).

The functions of the transmitter are as follows:

LOCK button:

Locks all doors

and arms the system.

START button:

Starts the En

ine

TRUNK / AUX 3 button:

Triggers the

AUX 3 output

or opens the Trunk

STOP button:

Shuts down the Engine

and places the system in

Cold Weather Mode if

the button is held down

for 3

seconds.

UNLOCK button:

Unlocks all doors

and disarms the s

stem

Remote-Starting Your Vehicle

Press the START button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON, informing you that the unit

has received your signal. Approx. 5 seconds later, the engine will start. The Parking Lights will remain

ON during the pre-programmed run time.

If the vehicle doesn’t start the first time, the system will shut OFF, wait a few seconds, and try to start the

engine again. It will try to start the engine 3 times before giving up.

Vehicle Presets

Heater and 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 and 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:

x Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.

x Press the brakes to disengage the remote starter unit.

You are now ready to drive off.

Caution: do not turn the key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position with the engine running. This will cause

the starter motor to re-engage.

Idle Mode

This feature allows the user to engage the remote starter to take over the vehicle while it is already

running. This option will keep the vehicle running for the pre-programmed run time, or until it is shut

down by remote.

Caution: Do not leave children or pets unattended in a car running in Idle Mode.

Note: When enabling Idle Mode, pressing LOCK or UNLOCK will automatically unlock the doors.

To activate the Idle Mode:

To enable Idle Mode, press and hold the LOCK, UNLOCK or START button on your remote transmitter while

the engine is running.

The parking lights will come ON. Remove the key, exit the vehicle and lock the doors. The engine will

continue running and will turn itself OFF when the pre-programmed run time expires.

Valet Mode

The system can be placed in Valet Mode to disable the remote starting capabilities. If the vehicle needs

to be serviced, or if you park it indoors, the Valet Mode will prevent the engine from being accidentally

started by remote control.

To put the system into Valet Mode:

1. Turn the key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.

2. Press and release the Valet Button. The L.E.D. will turn ON.

To take the system out of Valet Mode:

2. Press and release the Valet Button. The L.E.D. will turn OFF.

The Valet button can only be used if the vehicle keys are in the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.

Cold Weather Mode

When the Cold Weather Mode is active, the engine starts every 2 hours and runs for 4 minutes (or for 9

or 20 minutes with Diesel engines); the routine goes on for a period of 24 hours.

To enter Cold Weather Mode:

x Press and hold the STOP button until the Parking Lights flash 3 times.
