What is Included ■ The control module ■ An XR+ receiver/antenna ■ Two four-button transmitters ■ The red status LED indicator light ■ A push-button Valet button ■ Your warranty registration ■ A shut-down toggle switch Important Information Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start keyless entry system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty.
System Maintenance The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery begins to weaken, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim. Your Warranty Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.
Transmitter Functions The receiver uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any specific transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with the Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer. The transmitter buttons indicated in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration transmitter.

Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation. NOTE: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is operating the motor and the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay is installed.
Rapid Resume Logic This Directed Electronics system will store its current state to nonvolatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.
■ Comfort closure is a programming option which closes the vehicle’s windows after remote locking. ■ Parking lights flashing or constant. Your system can be programmed to either flash or to turn on the parking lights constantly during the entire remote start operation. ■ Passive Mode or Active Mode.
