! Remote start confirmation transmitter feature
Your remote engine start transmitter is
equipped with a unique bidirectional confirmation feature. This feature will allow

the status of the system under the condition that the vehicle and transmitter are
within the operational range of the system.
Typical transmitter button flash sequences
are outlined in the following chart.

Feature description
Flashes when button is
pressed
Indicates that the system is transmitting an RF signal.
Two long flashes following remote start activation (transmitter button is pressed two times

Indicates that the engine is running via remote start. If the
transmitter is removed outside of the operating range of the
system, this sequence will timeout after the normal 15-minute
vehicle run cycle.

Indicates that the engine has turned off due to a remote start
system 15-minute timeout, vehicle safety parameter or normal
