Operating Instructions
The remote start system is operated using the two included ultra-compact 1-button transmitters. These transmitters offer an operating range of up to 1,500 feet, allowing you to start or stop your vehicle's engine from a considerable distance. This feature enables you to warm or cool your vehicle's interior before entry, enhancing comfort in various weather conditions.
