IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES!

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING:

The owner/user MUST INSTALL a CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR in the living area near to where the vehicle is being stored or parked. It is the sole responsibility of the owner/user to keep the remote transmitters away from the reach of children and handle with care so that the system does not unintentionally start. When the vehicle is parked in an enclosed/partially enclosed area (for example: a garage or car port), being serviced, or if the vehicle is loaned to an operator not familiar with a remote starter, the system MUST BE placed in Service(Valet) Mode.

NEVER OPERATE THE SYSTEM IN AN ENCLOSED

OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED AREA!

HYBRID REMOTE STARTERS FOR

AUTOMATIC & MANUAL TRANSMISSION STARTERS:

The installation of a remote starter MUST BE DONE ONLY with a specified remote starter. Hybrid

Remote Starters have both an automatic transmission and manual transmission mode. It is the responsibility of the vehicle’s operator to insure that:

• when the remote starter is in use with a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission, the transmission remain in NEUTRAL POSITION ONLY.

• when the remote starter is in use with a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission, the transmission remain in the PARK POSITION ONLY.

It is the sole responsibility of the operator of the vehicle to insure the transmission positions described herein are maintained at any time the remote starter is in use. In no case shall the manufacturer or Titan be liable for any damages of any kind whatsoever including but without limited to damages for personal injury or loss of life arising by virtue of a remote starter being used when the transmission of the vehicle in question is not set as mandated herein.

TITAN SECURE

“Titan-Secure” is a security feature that is built-in to every Titan Data Series remote starter. Activating this feature will require some extra installation and/or parts. You can also add a siren and starter disable to your system. This will give you the added security of an OEM style “Content Security” system in your vehicle and will provide you with protection of your personal items in your vehicle much like the factory content security systems in use on many vehicles today. Once installed, it will provide you with door-pin and hood-pin coverage and also monitor your ignition. Once armed, if your doors or hood are opened, or if someone is attempting to hot-wire your vehicle, your horn or siren will sound. If you purchased a 2-Way Remote Starter system, it will also page to your transmitter. It is as easy to use as locking and unlocking your doors. No shock sensor false alarms; no other hassles; no other worries. “Titan-Secure” is that easy! Consult your Titan Dealer for more information on “Titan-Secure”.

4 Titan Data Series TS143 Owner’s Guide

VALET OR SERVICE MODE

Valet or “Service” Mode will disable the remote start and/or Titan-Secure features of the system. The optional Lock, Unlock and Trunk Release features will still be operational. When the vehicle is to have any “under hood” or service work done, the system must be placed into Service Mode. This feature may also be used if a transmitter is lost, damaged, or if the system malfunctions.

ATTENTION:

TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, this remote start system must be set into Service Mode before any under hood servicing is started. Service Mode will prevent the vehicle from starting while the vehicle is being serviced. It is the sole responsibility of the vehicle’s owner to place the system into Service

Mode. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for accidental starting of the vehicle while the vehicle is being serviced.

IGNITION ON 5 Seconds

ENTERING SERVICE MODE:

Turn the ignition key to the On position.

Press and hold the Program Button (located on the antenna - center of windshield) for 5 seconds or until the horn/siren (optional) honks five times.

Note: The LEDs on the antenna will turn on solid to confirm Service Mode. If the Start button is pressed when the vehicle is in service mode, the park lights will flash slowly 3 times and the vehicle will not start.

EXITING SERVICE MODE:

1. Turn the ignition key to the On position.

2. Press and hold the Program Button (located on the antenna - center of windshield) for 5 seconds or until the horn/siren (optional) honks two times.

Note: The LEDs on the antenna will turn off and the remote starter/security functions will be reenabled.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION READY MODE

To remote start the vehicle, you must first place the system in “Ready Mode”. There are 3 different programming options for doing this. To use a method other than the default setting, you must have your system re-programmed by an authorized dealer.

Default - Transmitter Activation

1. With the engine running & transmission in Neutral, apply the parking brake.

2. Press and release the Start button on the remote transmitter.

3. Turn off key and remove from the ignition (the vehicle will stay running).

4. Exit the vehicle and make sure all doors are closed.

5. Press the Start button on the transmitter to shut the vehicle off.

6. The vehicle is now in “Ready Mode” and can be started by remote.

Option 2 - Brake Pedal Activiation

1. With the engine running & transmission in Neutral, apply the parking brake.

2. Press and release the brake pedal 2 times (once if it was already on when you applied the park brake in step 1).

3. Turn off key and remove from the ignition (the vehicle will stay running).

4. Exit the vehicle, upon closing the last door, the vehicle will shut down.***

5. The vehicle is now in “Ready Mode” and can be started by remote.

Option 3 - Park Brake Activation

1. With the engine running & transmission in Neutral, apply the parking brake.

2. Turn off key and remove from the ignition (the vehicle will stay running).

3. Exit the vehicle, upon closing the last door, the vehicle will shut down.***

4. The vehicle is now in “Ready Mode” and can be started by remote.

REMOTE STARTING ALL MODES

1. With the engine off, press the Start button.

2. The park lights will flash and the horn will chirp once (if connected).

3. The vehicle’s ignition system will come on and within 3 seconds, the vehicle will start.

4. The parking lights will flash 5 times to confirm a successful start.

5. The vehicle will run for the programmed runtime (15 minutes default).

If the vehicle does not start, see the diagnostics section on Page 23 for possible solutions.

If you press the Start button on the transmitter while the door is open, the system will go into “Idle mode” and NOT shut down when you close the door. It will run for the programmed run time or until it is shut down by the remote. This feature is convenient if you need to open other doors after having closed yours.

IMPORTANT: If a door is opened while the vehicle is not running and in “Ready Mode”, the system will exit “Ready Mode” and will not remote start. You will need to start the vehicle with the key and repeat the procedure. If you need to open doors and want to avoid repeating the “Ready Mode” setup again, simply remote start the vehicle and open the door while the vehicle is running. When you are done, and the doors are closed, you can shut down the vehicle with the remote and “Ready

Mode” will still be engaged.

TRANSMITTER LEARNING

Important! The remote starter will hold 4 transmitter codes. It is recommended that when programming in transmitters, you fill up all four transmitter codes, even if only using one or two transmitters. This will clear all other transmitter coding from the unit and prevent stray coding or possible interference from other remote transmitters.

In you purchase new transmitters, they will have to be programmed to your unit before they will function. Your local Titan dealer can do this for you, but in the event you do not have access to a dealer, you can program them in yourself. All transmitters to be used on the vehicle must be programmed in at the same time. If you try to add only one transmitter, when you add it, it will erase all other transmitter in the system, so you must code in all transmitters. This is a security safety feature in the event you lose a transmitter.

IGNITION ON Hold

CODING IN TRANSMITTERS

1. Within 3 seconds, turn ignition key On and Off 3 times, leaving the key in the “ON” position

(On-Off-On-Off-On).

2. Press and hold the Program button on the antenna (center of windshield). The park lights will turn “On” and the horn/siren (optional) will honk once. Continue to hold the Program button.

The park lights will turn “Off” and the horn/siren (optional) will honk 5 times quickly.

3. While holding the Program button, press and release the Lock button on each of the remote transmitters to be programmed. If using two transmitters, code in each transmitter twice. Turn off the key. One long horn honk will follow to show you have exited programming.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When your remote starter system begins to show a significant reduction in transmitter range, or the remote does not respond correctly, it may be time to change the batteries.

The 2-Way transmitter uses 2 - CR2430 - 3 Volt Lithium batteries. Simply slide open the battery cover to replace both batteries. Slide the battery cover back on the transmitter to resume use.

The 1-Way transmitter uses 1 - CR2032 battery. To change the battery, this is the procedure:

1. Open the transmitter at the notch in the casing near the bottom of the transmitter (Use a small tool or a coin to gently pry the top and bottom of the casing apart).

2. Once the top and bottom case are seperated, slide out the battery under the battery clip.

3. Replace with 1 new CR2032 battery.

4. Press top and bottom casing together (make sure to put keychain assembly in between cases) until they snap back into place.

If the transmitter shows no significant improvement after replacing the batteries, contact your Titan dealer to have your system inspected.
