Aux 1-4 are virtual outputs only available on certain vehicles when this system is integrated with the vehicle’s data network. Consult your installer to find out if any of these functions are available for your vehicle.
Other Remote Start Features (cont’d) Pit-Stop Feature This feature allows you to leave your engine running for making quick errands. To use this feature, have the engine running normally from the ignition switch and your foot off the brake pedal. Press the Valet Switch twice; the parking lights will flash and the horn chirps 5 times. Turn the key off and the engine will remain running for the programmed run time.
Security System Features (cont’d) When The System Triggers If the system were to be compromised while armed, it will trigger sounding the siren/horn and flashing the parking lights for 30 seconds (programmable). At this point you will also be notified on the controller as to which zone is violated (if in range of the system). When disarming the system after a trigger event, the siren/horn will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will flash 4 times instead of the standard 2 times.
Using The Valet Switch (cont’d) REMOTE START VALET MODE, while active, disables remote start. Keyless entry and alarm functions are still operable. To enter remote start valet mode, perform the following steps: STEP 1 - Disarm the system either with the controller or by performing an emergency override and hold the brake pedal. STEP 2 - Press and hold the valet switch (located in the window-mount antenna) for 2 seconds. The system will chirp once and the GREEN status light will turn on.
The Status Light (cont’d) AUTOMATIC TRANSMITTER VERIFICATION (RED LIGHT): Every time you turn on the ignition key, the status light will flash a number of times equal to the number of controllers/transmitters programmed to the system. This unique security feature protects you from a potential thief (valet attendant, mechanic, installer, etc.) from adding their own transmitter without your knowledge and accessing your vehicle and it’s contents at a later time (the perfect crime!).
Multi-Car Operation & Vehicle Profiles Multi-car Operation The controller can operate up to 2 different systems. When controlling 2 systems, it will receive all status updates on the currently selected vehicle profile and will receive only trigger alerts for the 2nd vehicle. You can switch from one car to the other at anytime as well as choose a unique image and name for each vehicle. Use the following steps to change vehicle profiles as well as select the vehicle image and name.

Anti-Carjacking Protection The system is equipped with two separate Anti-Carjacking protection features (ignition, open door, or both). All are programmable, and must be turned on to operate. Once activated, the user has 53 seconds to cancel the Anti-Carjacking protection process (described below). If Anti-Carjacking is not cancelled, 53 seconds after being activated the siren will begin to chirp for 7 seconds to alert the user that the system is about to enter into an alarm condition.
Programming Controllers/Transmitters (cont’d) Step 3 Press the “lock” button on each transmitter one at a time. The system will chirp the siren/horn once to confirm that each was learned. When programming the 2-way controller, the system’s ID is sent to the controller. Wait for the controller to beep twice, indicating it has learned the system’s ID*. If a code is not received within 10 seconds of Step 2, the learning process will automatically exit.
