Setup and Programming

Professional programming is required for this key fob. This device cannot be self-programmed by the end-user. Due to the security systems in modern vehicles, specialized equipment and expertise are necessary to link the new key fob to your vehicle's immobilizer and remote entry system.

Key Blade Cutting: The integrated key blade will also need to be cut by a professional locksmith to match your vehicle's ignition and door locks. This service is typically performed by automotive locksmiths or dealerships.

We recommend contacting a certified automotive locksmith or your local dealership for programming and key cutting services. They possess the necessary tools and knowledge to ensure correct functionality.

Operating Instructions

Once programmed, your USARemote key fob provides convenient access and control over your vehicle's functions:

• Lock Button (Closed Padlock Icon): Press once to lock all vehicle doors. Some vehicles may provide an audible confirmation (horn chirp) or visual confirmation (lights flash).
• Unlock Button (Open Padlock Icon): Press once to unlock the driver's door. Press twice within a few seconds to unlock all vehicle doors.
• Remote Start Button (Circular Arrow Icon): To remotely start your vehicle, press the Lock button once, then immediately press and hold the Remote Start button for approximately 3-5 seconds. The vehicle's lights will flash, and the engine will start. The vehicle will run for a preset duration (typically 10-15 minutes) before shutting off automatically. To extend the run time, repeat the remote start procedure.
• Panic Button (Red Horn Icon): Press and hold this button to activate the vehicle's alarm system (horn and lights). Release the button to deactivate the alarm. This feature is useful for locating your vehicle in a crowded parking lot or for emergency situations.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The key fob is powered by a small coin-cell battery. If the remote's range decreases significantly or it stops responding, the battery may need replacement. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific battery type and replacement instructions, as the procedure can vary slightly between models. Generally, you will need to carefully pry open the key fob casing to access the battery compartment.

Care and Handling

• Avoid dropping the key fob or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Keep the key fob dry and away from extreme temperatures.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the internal electronics unless performing a battery replacement.

Troubleshooting

• Key Fob Not Responding:
  • Check the battery. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure you are within range of the vehicle.
  • Verify that the key fob has been correctly programmed to your vehicle by a professional. Reprogramming may be required if the fob loses its connection.
• Remote Start Not Working:
  • Ensure all doors are closed, the hood is latched, and the transmission is in Park.
  • Confirm the remote start sequence (Lock button once, then hold Remote Start button) is performed correctly.
  • Some vehicles require specific conditions (e.g., fuel level, engine temperature) for remote start to activate. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual.
• Reduced Operating Range:
  • Replace the battery.
