END USER TERMS OF USE

ADS products are designed to remote start vehicles from a distance. In order to ensure your iDatastart system meets all safety regulations and operates as intended by the manufacturer, please follow the usage recommendations below:
• DO NOT use this product for any purpose other than its intended usage.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle in an indoor or enclosed area (i.e. garage). Exhaust fumes are extremely dangerous and can cause personal injury or death. Install carbon monoxide detectors in every living area that can be exposed to vehicle exhaust fumes.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle while it is being serviced. Follow the Valet Mode procedure as outlined in your Owner’s Manual.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle in gear.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle with the key in the ignition.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle left unattended with open windows, unlocked doors or open convertible top.
• DO NOT allow children handle or operate long range remotes.
• ALWAYS engage your emergency brake prior to exiting your vehicle. This may limit motion if the vehicle is accidentally started in gear.
• AVOID remote starting your vehicle while passengers or pets are on board. This may increase the risk of shifter being put in gear after vehicle has been remote started.
• AVOID parking your vehicle on an inclined surface or an area surrounded by obstacles. For manual vehicles, ALWAYS ensure the Reservation Mode sequence, as outlined in your Owner’s Manual, is correctly engaged prior to the next remote start.
• AVOID delaying the inspection of your iDatastart system in the event of malfunction. Immediately contact a Certified Technician to ensure that installation or defective equipment is properly addressed.

Are you replacing a lost or damaged remote or simply adding an extra remote to your iDatastart system?
Please take note of the following:

1. A functional iDatastart system must already be installed in your vehicle.
2. All new remotes must be installed by an iDatastart Authorized Dealer.
3. A maximum of 4 remotes can be programmed to your iDatastart system.

Follow the steps below to replace the batteries in your iDatastart remote:

1. On the backside of your remote, press and slide the lid downwards to expose the batteries.
2. Remove the old batteries and replace by two new CR2450 batteries.
3. Close the lid on the backside of the remote.

Your iDatastart system may enable remote engine start by performing one of the following button sequences on your factory key fob:

BUTTON	FUNCTION
Press on	Start engine
Press on	Stop engine

OR

BUTTON	FUNCTION
Press on	Start engine
Press on	Stop engine

NOTE: This feature may not be supported on some vehicles. If supported, the chosen button sequence will be communicated to you by your iDatastart Authorized Dealer at the time of installation. The remote start range will be equal to your factory key fob’s door lock range.

Once remote started from your factory key fob or long-range remote, your vehicle will run for the programmed ‘runtime’ setting. The default runtime is 15 minutes but it can also be programmed for 3, 5, 10, 25, 30 or 35 minutes. If you wish to change your remote start runtime setting, contact your iDatastart Authorized Dealer.

The ‘key takeover’ procedure ensures that your engine does not shut down upon entering the vehicle, during the programmed remote start runtime. To prevent your vehicle from shutting down, complete the steps below within the programmed delay time (45 seconds, 90 seconds, 3 minutes or 4 minutes):

For Standard Key Vehicles
1. Unlock and enter vehicle
2. Close doors
3. Insert key into ignition and turn ignition to ON position
4. Press foot brake

For Push-To-Start Vehicles
1. Unlock and enter vehicle with valid smartkey
2. Close doors
3. Press foot brake

NOTE: This feature may not be supported on some vehicles. If available, the programmed ‘key takeover’ delay time will be communicated to you by your iDatastart Authorized Dealer at the time of installation.

To ensure safety during vehicle servicing, the remote starter must be placed in ‘Valet Mode’. The ‘Valet Mode’ will disable remote start functionality. To activate or deactivate the ‘Valet Mode’, follow the instructions below:

With Vehicle Key:
Cycle ignition OFF/ON 2x rapidly, then press brake 3x.

With iDatastart Remote:
Turn ignition ON, then press

With iDatastart Antenna:
Turn ignition ON, then press & hold button for 5 seconds

If your iDatastart remote fails to start the vehicle, the parking lights will flash three times immediately, then flash a number of times according to the errors below:

If the remote start sequence has been completed and the vehicle shuts down, the vehicle’s parking lights
will flash 4 times immediately, then flash a number of times according to the errors below:

CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B)

Your wireless REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 4.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted with the REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.

In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) when tested for use at the extremity is 0.030W/Kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the Grantee Code: 2AEPJ. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)
website at http://www.wow-com.com.*

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) used by the public is 4.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

This device complies with FCC and ISED 10-g extremity SAR requirements when the device is used at 0 mm separation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
