engine, it will also turn on your climate control system.)

• Turn your windshield wipers to the “OFF” position.

• Make sure gearshift is in “P”.

502

THE REMOTE CONTROL

Your remote control works off a small, long-life 12-volt alkaline battery (GP-23A).

The range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby metal

structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.

With its electronic CODE LEARNING feature, up to three additional remote controls can be programmed

for your vehicle.

We strongly recommend that you keep a replacement battery in your glove compartment.

See your dealer for replacement batteries or additional remote controls.

USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

To ensure that commands are transmitted

properly, press desired button for 2 seconds.

Indicator light will flash while transmitting the

command.

Your system can be configured (during installation)

in such a way that the remote control will only

access the starting function of your vehicle or it

can access both the starting and door locking

functions of the vehicle.

You can replace the buttons (rubber keypad) of

your remote control by an alternate keypad

(included in kit).

The replaceable keypad shows different

pictograms to help you remember the commands; use the keypad that corresponds to your system

options.

Remote included in kit may differ from the ones illustrated.

your technician which command controls the start/stop

function.

The start/stop commands received on this input are ignored

while the engine is running on a remote start.

same way as functions controlled by remote.

CONTINUOUS MODE

running. This convenient feature allows you to leave the vehicle for short periods of time while the climate

controls remain on.

To access the “Continuous Mode“, carry out the “Start“ command while the engine is idling. See “START”

command on page 5.

Parking lights, engine and preset accessories will remain on for the duration of the programmed runtime.

If you return to your vehicle before runtime has elapsed, just turn the key to the “ON” position and depress

brake pedal.

When mode is deactivated:

Parking lights will flash twice to confirm that mode is deactivated. Applying brakes also deactivates Low

Temperature mode.

If the ignition key is not turned to “ON” position within one minute, system automatically rearms, thus

preventing any intruder from starting your vehicle, even with ignition key.

It can be connected so that horn sounds if an intruder tries to start your vehicle when it is in the active

state.
