KEYLESS ENTRY

The LOCK icon button on the transmitter is used to lock the vehicle's doors, the UNLOCK icon button is used to unlock the vehicle's doors. 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 STARTING THE VEHICLE

To start the vehicle:

1. Press and release the KEY icon button two times within 2 seconds (for optional 1 BUTTON start press and hold the KEY icon for 3 seconds). The vehicle will start and remain running for the pre-programmed 5, 10, 15, 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 KEY icon button on the transmitter two times within 2 seconds (for optional 1 BUTTON start press and hold the KEY icon for 3 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 is opened.
• The gear shift selector is not in Park.
• The brake pedal is depressed.

TURBO TIMER MODE (optional)

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 EXTERNAL REMOTE START: This system allows remote start activation from an external source such as a vehicle security system. Operation may vary depending on the source you choose to use. Consult with your installation center about the use of this feature.

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 icon button of your transmitter for 3 seconds.
