REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE

This unit will not start the vehicle if any one of the following situations exist:

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.

1. To start the vehicle, press and release the Key/Trunk button two times within

2 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 its 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 Key/Trunk button on the keychain transmitter two times within

2 seconds.

- Depress the brake pedal.

- Open the vehicle's hood.

PUSH-BUTTON LED RECEIVER VALET/OVERRIDE/SAFETY CONTROL SWITCH

The Push-Button LED switch located in the receiver allows you to temporarily disable the remote starting function of the system. This is recommended whenever the vehicle is being serviced.

To place the system in the service mode:

1. With the system disarmed/unlocked, and the ignition switch off, Press and Hold the

Push-Button, found on the windsheild receiver, in.

2. Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.

3. The LED begins to flash two short flashes followed by one long flashes and continues this pattern until returned to normal mode of operation.

This puts the unit into the R/S Override mode indicating that the remote start is in the service mode and will not start from RF or any other input Posse or otherwise.

To Exit R/S Override Mode:

1. With the system disarmed, Press and Hold the Push-Button, found on the windsheild receiver, in.

2. Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.

3. The LED turns off, indicating that the R/S unit is fully functional one again.

PROGRAMMED TRANSMITTER NOTIFICATION (PTN)

Every time after Disarm, when the ignition key is turned on, the unit's LED will report the number of transmitters programmed into the system. This safety feature will alert you if an unauthorized transmitter has been programmed into your vehicle's security system without your knowledge. Typically from the factory, there will be 2 flashes and a pause, repeated 3 times, indicating that two transmitters are programmed into the system. If you note additional flashes, an additional transmitter may have been added without your knowledge or authorization. If you notice a change in the transmitter LED report pattern, you can correct this by looking up how to erase and reprogram your transmitters found in the transmitter programming guide. This reprogram operation will erase all unauthorized or unwanted transmitters.
