Valet Switch and Hood Pin Switch
The valet switch is used for programming and temporarily disabling the security and remote start features. The hood pin switch provides a safety mechanism, preventing remote start activation when the hood is open.
Operating Instructions
Remote Start Function
The EVO-ONE-HON2 system utilizes your vehicle's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) remote for remote start activation. To activate the remote start:
- Press the 'Lock' button on your OEM remote three times consecutively (3x Lock).
- Alternatively, some configurations may use a 'Lock-Unlock-Lock' sequence.
The vehicle's parking lights will typically flash to confirm the remote start command has been received, and the engine will start shortly thereafter. The remote start function is compatible with fuel-injected, diesel, and hybrid vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions only.
Security System
The built-in alarm system provides enhanced vehicle security. It monitors doors, hood, and trunk, and will trigger an alarm if unauthorized entry is detected. The system arms and disarms in conjunction with your vehicle's OEM remote locking/unlocking functions.
Smartphone App and Telematic Devices
The EVO-ONE module is compatible with various smartphone remote starter applications and telematic devices (sold separately) for extended range and advanced control features. Consult your installer or Fortin's website for compatible options.
Maintenance
The Fortin EVO-ONE-HON2 system is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. Observe the following guidelines:
- Module Care: Keep the EVO-ONE module dry and free from extreme temperatures. Avoid tampering with the module's casing, as this may void the warranty.
- OEM Remote Batteries: Ensure the batteries in your vehicle's OEM remote are in good condition for reliable remote start operation.
- Wiring Integrity: Periodically check for any loose or damaged wiring connections, especially after any other vehicle maintenance.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Fortin EVO-ONE-HON2 system, consider the following common solutions:
- Remote Start Not Activating:

- Alarm System Malfunctions:
- Ensure all doors, hood, and trunk are properly latched.
- If the alarm triggers without cause, consult your installer for sensitivity adjustments.
