How the CSM-3 Operates  
The CSM-3 functions as a keyless entry  
system and a remote vehicle starter. All  
features of the CSM-3 are controlled  
through the supplied remote transmitters.

Starting the Vehicle with the Remote Starter  
Press the START button on the remote transmitter. The parking lights will flash one time to  
confirm that the vehicle is about to start. The CSM-3 will energize the vehicle ignition  
system and crank the starter for up to 5 seconds, disengaging as soon as the vehicle  
starts.  
If the vehicle does not start...  
If the vehicle does not start on the first attempt, the CSM-3 will pause 5 seconds, then try  
3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of four attempts). On each attempt the CSM-3 will  
crank the starter one second longer than the previous attempt. The CSM-3 pauses 5  
seconds between each start attempt.  
If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the CSM-3 will shut down.  
After the vehicle has started...  
Immediately after the parking lights have turned on, the vehicle accessories (heater, air  
conditioning, etc.) will turn on to cool or heat the vehicle and the vehicle parking lights  
will turn on to indicate the vehicle has started (and is still running). The vehicle will run  
for 15 minutes before shutting down.  
If the vehicle stalls...  
If the vehicle stalls, the CSM-3 will pause 5 seconds, then attempt to restart the vehicle  
following the same procedure as above. The 15-minute run time timer will resume where  
it left off when the vehicle stalled.

Stopping the Vehicle While It Is Running Via the Remote Starter  
The vehicle will instantly shut down if any of the following occurs while it is running via  
the remote starter:  
• The START button on the remote transmitter is pressed.  
• The vehicle brake pedal is pressed before the ignition key is turned to the ON  
position.  
• The vehicle hood is opened before the ignition key is turned to the ON position.  
• The engine is "revved" at or near 3000 RPM.  
Operating Your Vehicle While the CSM-3 is Engaged  
When your vehicle is running via the remote starter, perform the following steps to  
transition from CSM-3 operation to normal operation without shutting the vehicle off:  
1. Press the UNLOCK button and enter the vehicle.  
2. Without pressing the brake, insert the key into the ignition and turn to the ON  
position. DO NOT CRANK THE STARTER.  
3. Press the brake pedal. The parking lights will turn off, indicating that the vehicle  
is running normally (the CSM-3 is inactive).  
Quick-StopTM  
If you wish to leave your vehicle running while you make a short stop (at a convenience  
store for instance), the CSM-3 enables the vehicle to continue running, while allowing  
you to remove your keys and take them with you. Perform the following steps while the  
vehicle is running:  
1. Make sure the vehicle is in PARK.  
2. With your foot OFF the brake pedal, press the START button on your remote  
transmitter. One second later, the parking lights will turn on, indicating that  
the vehicle is running via the remote starter.  
3. Turn the ignition key off and remove. The vehicle will continue to run for 15  
minutes, or until you return.  
4. You may lock the doors with your remote transmitter while the vehicle is running  
via the remote starter.  
Status Indication  
The CSM-3 uses the vehicle parking lights to indicate the system's current status while  
operating:  
• 1 flash -  
Vehicle is about to start  
• 2 flashes - Can’t start - hood is open or brake is pressed  
• On Solid - Vehicle is running via the remote starter

System Maintenance  
Changing the Remote Transmitter Battery  
The 12-volt alkaline battery supplied in your remote transmitter should last approximately  
one year, depending on usage. When the battery begins to weaken, you will notice a  
decrease in range, or the distance from your vehicle that your remote transmitter will  
operate. Follow the instructions below to change the remote transmitter battery.  
1. Remove the screw (if equipped) on the back of your remote  
transmitter.  
2. Use a small coin or screwdriver to pry off the back of the  
transmitter case.  
3. Replace the worn battery with a new battery.  
4. Replace the case backing and test. It is not necessary to  
reprogram the remote transmitter after changing the battery.

Adding Remote Transmitters to Your System  
Note: Each CSM-3 module has four “slots”, or memory locations, to store remote  
transmitter codes, giving it the ability to operate from up to four remote transmitters.  
For proper operation, a transmitter code must be stored into each memory slot.  
When using less than four remote transmitters, follow the suggested programming  
parameters:  
• One Remote Transmitter - Program four (4) times  
• Two Remote Transmitters - Program each transmitter two (2) times  
• Three Remote Transmitters - Program one transmitter twice, and each  
remaining transmitter once.  
1. Press and hold the brake pedal. Turn the ignition on and off three (3) times, then  
release the brake pedal.  
If done correctly, the unit will respond by flashing the parking lights three (3) times.  
(From inside the vehicle, you will hear three (3) ‘clicks’ from the module.) This  
indicates that the unit has entered the programming mode.  
2a. Without pressing the brake pedal, press the LOCK button (button 1) on the remote  
transmitter to be programmed.  
The parking lights will flash once (one click from the module), indicating that the  
system has “learned” that remote transmitter.  
2b. Repeat step 2a for any additional transmitters or transmitter codes.  
3. Press and release the brake pedal to exit the programming mode. Test all remote  
transmitters to ensure that they work properly.
