YOUR "CODE HOPPING" TRANSMITTERS The transmitters included with your new remote start system use the most advanced and secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive remote system. Some of today's sophisticated auto thieves use a device known as a code grabber, which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter, and retransmit at a later time to unlock your system. Your code hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the button is pressed, so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the system will not respond. If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of the vehicle (children playing with your keys), the transmitter will not operate when you return to the vehicle, and will need to be re-aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press the lock/unlock button two times within a one second time period. The system will now respond to that transmitter each time a button is pressed. For reference the transmitter packaged with your system may not appear exactly as shown below. This depiction is for reference only. Note: As an option, this system has the ability to operate the vehicles horn which may require some additional parts. If this feature is installed, the vehicle's horn will beep once when you lock the doors, twice when you unlock the doors, twice when the Remote Start feature is activated, and will beep during the car finder mode to allow you to find the vehicle more easily in a crowded parking lot. KEYLESS ENTRY 1. To lock your vehicle, exit the vehicle, close all doors, hood and trunk, then simply press the lock button of your keychain transmitter. To unlock your vehicle, simply press the unlock button of your keychain transmitter. As a keyless entry unit, for your convenience, the parking lights will flash once when the doors are locked and twice when the door are unlocked. If the optional illuminated entry feature has been added, the interior light will turn on when the doors are unlocked and remain on for 30 seconds or until the ignition is turned on. Holding the lock/unlock transmitter button for 3 seconds will activate the car finder mode causing the parking lights to flash and the optional horn to beep for 30 seconds or until the button is activated again for 3 seconds or any other button is operated. Note: This system has the ability to unlock the drivers door with the first press of the unlock transmitter button and then unlock all other doors when the unlock button is pressed a second time. This optional feature may require additional components. Consult your installation center to determine if this feature has been added to your vehicle. Additionally this system can be programmed to automatically lock and unlock the doors with the turning on and off of the ignition key. ADDITIONAL REMOTE FUNCTION (CHANNEL 3) This system has an additional feature that can be connected to a number of different optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for this channel are: Remote Trunk Release Remote Window Closure Remote Garage Door Interface To activate the optional accessory, press and hold the trunk/key button on the keychain transmitter for four seconds.
