To lock or unlock the doors simply press and release the desired function button one time. As a keyless entry unit, for your convenience, the parking lights will flash twice when the doors are locked and once when the door are unlocked.

REMOTE CAR FINDER: The Asterisk (*) button in addition to remote start, is used to access the car finder mode. This feature is particularly useful in a crowded parking lot where finding your car may be difficult. To access the car finder mode, while within range of your car, simply press and hold the Asterisk button for three seconds. The parking lights will begin to flash making your vehicle more visible. The lights will stop automatically after 30 seconds. If you wish to turn off the car finder mode prior to the expiration of the 30 second timer, press and release either the lock or unlock button of your transmitter one time.

REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE:

1. To start the vehicle, press and release the Asterisk button two times within 2 seconds. The vehicle will start and remain running for the pre-programmed 5, 10, 15 or 20 minute run cycle. As a visual indication, the parking lights will flash or remain on depending on the setting by your installation center.
2. When you arrive at the vehicle, turn the ignition key to the ON position (not the spring loaded start position), then step on the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter. The vehicle will continue to run, but now on it's own power.

Note: The engine will stop running before the pre-programmed run cycle has expired if you perform any one of the following functions:

• Press and release the Asterisk button on the keychain transmitter two times within 2 seconds.
• Depress the brake pedal.
• Open the vehicle's hood
• Move the safety control switch to the Off position.

The system will not start the vehicle if any one of the following situations exists:

• The vehicle's hood lid is opened.
• The gear shift selector is not in Park.
• The brake pedal is depressed.
• The safety control switch is in the Off position.

SAFETY CONTROL SWITCH: The red handle control switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote starting function of the system and moving this switch to the Off position is recommended whenever the vehicle is being serviced. When the system is disabled, the remote door locks and optional accessories will remain operational.

TURBO TIMER MODE: This system provides a means to cool down the vehicles turbo charger, if so equipped, by allowing the vehicle to continue to run for a prescribed period of time every time the vehicle's engine is turned off. This feature requires the system to be set up for turbo timer during installation. Consult with your installation center to be certain this feature was activated and how long the vehicle will continue to run, 3, 5, or 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off. To activate the turbo timer: Anytime the engine is running for more than 15 seconds:

1. Place the gear selector in park.
2. Set the parking, (hand), brake.
3. Be certain your foot is off the brake pedal.
4. Press the program/Push-Button switch 2 times within 5 seconds. The parking lights will flash two times indicating the mode was successfully entered. If your parking lights flashed four times, this indicates the turbo mode was on and is now turned off.

With the turbo timer mode selected on, after you've arrived at your destination, while the engine is still running, set the parking brake, pause 2 seconds, then turn the ignition switch to the off position. The engine will continue to run the allotted time according to the selection during installation.

If you do not want the vehicle to continue to run for one cycle, simply step on the vehicle's brake, or release the parking brake, or activate the transmitter's start button two times in succession. Any of these will cause the engine to turn off.

OPTIONAL REAR DEFROSTER: This system allows independent activation of the rear defogger while the remote start is engaged. To activate the rear defogger, if this feature is installed, simply while the remote start is engaged, press the Asterisk button of your keychain transmitter one time. This will activate or reactivate if already activated, the rear window defogger timer of your vehicle if so equipped.

OPTIONAL TRUNK RELEASE: This system provides an output that can be used to operate an existing electric trunk release if the vehicle is so equipped. To activate this feature, press and hold the Trunk button of your keychain transmitter for 3 seconds.

OPTIONAL LED: As an added safety feature, an LED can be installed in the dash to indicate when the doors are Locked. The LED will flash all the time the doors are locked via the hand held transmitter, and will turn off when the doors are unlocked via the hand held transmitter or whenever the ignition is turned on from the key.
