Remote transmitter programming and programmable feature option

New transmitters can be programmed to the engine starter system in the event that remote transmitters are lost, stolen or damaged. The remote engine start system also has one programmable feature that can be adjusted for user preference.

The remote engine starter system can be programmed to either make an audible horn chirp upon remote start activation or not. Remote transmitter programming and feature programming can be adjusted using the following procedure.

4. Press and hold the black programming button for 10 to 15 seconds. The horn will honk and the turn signal lights will flash three times to indicate that the system has entered programming mode. At this point you can proceed to either step 5 or step 6.

5. To program a remote transmitter:
press and release the “each” button on each transmitter. The horn will honk and the turn signal lights will flash one time to indicate a successful transmitter learn each time the “You” button is pressed. You can program up to eight transmitters.

6. To toggle the Horn Confirmation chirps ON/OFF: press and release the brake to toggle the feature. The horn will chirp and the turn signal lights will flash one time to indicate Confirmation Horn Chirps are “OFF”. The horn will honk and the turn signal lights will flash 2 times to indicate Confirmation Horn Chirps are “ON”.

Pressing the brake pedal repeatedly will toggle the feature ON or OFF each time.
