CODE-ALARM F40 (01) PDF MANUAL

The operation of the F40/F45 as described in this manual is applicable to most vehicles. However, due to the engine type and configuration of some vehicles (i.e. diesel engines), some functions AND/OR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS may not apply. Please see your installing dealer for more information.

Should a product be found to be defective during the warranty duration, the defective product must be returned to an authorized CODE dealer. It must be accompanied by a copy of the original retail sales receipt. The date of purchase and year, make and model of the vehicle in which the system was originally installed must be clearly indicated on the sales receipt.

During the first year of the warranty period, CODE will repair or replace the product or any part of the product that CODE agrees is defective without charge to the retail consumer purchaser. After the first year of the warranty period has expired, CODE will repair or replace the product or any part of the product that CODE agrees is defective for a fee of $10.00 to cover shipping and handling charges.

The remote start function is activated by pressing a button on your existing remote control (please see your installer for Remote Start Sequence). The system will check the vehicle to ensure that it is safe to start, and if all safety parameters are correct, the engine will start within 5 seconds. For diesel engines, this may take longer.

Repeat the START sequence (the same one used to start the vehicle) again to turn off the vehicle.

If the vehicle stalls or does not start, the F40/F45 will pause 5 seconds, then try 3 more times to start the vehicle (a total of four attempts). The system pauses 5 seconds between each start attempt. If the vehicle does not start after the fourth attempt, the F40/F45 will abort the start process.

Yes, your vehicle can be started by remote control whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

For safety and security reasons, the F40/F45 will shut off the vehicle during remote start if any of the following occur:

• The vehicle hood is opened.

• The brake is pressed before the vehicle ignition is turned on with the key.

• The engine reaches 3 times its normal idle. (Note: The tach wire must be connected and the system must be in tach monitor mode for this feature).

As a safety precaution, the vehicle will shut off if left unattended for up to 12 or 25 minutes, depending on the time preset by your installer.

Follow these steps:

1. Press UNLOCK on your remote to unlock the door(s) (if not already unlocked).

2. Enter the vehicle. Do not press the brake pedal.

3. Insert the key into the ignition and turn to the ON position.

4. Press the brake pedal. The remote starter disengages and the vehicle will operate normally.

Before exiting the vehicle, set the temperature controls to the desired setting and operation. After the F40/F45 starts the vehicle, the heater or air-conditioning will activate and heat or cool the interior to your setting.

To program options, follow these steps:

1. Press brake pedal.

2. Turn vehicle ignition on.

3. Press and hold emergency override button. After 10 seconds, the parking lights will flash. This indicates that the unit has entered the default programming mode. (Activate the double pulse Start Trigger to default the options).

4. Release both the brake pedal and button.

5. Press and release the emergency override button. The horn or siren will sound four (4) times. This indicates that the unit has entered the Car Start Options Programming mode.

6. Pulse the (+) Start Tigger to advance to the next feature. The parking lights will flash a number of times to indicate the number of the option.

7. Press the brake pedal to turn the option on or off. If installed, the vehicle status indicator will indicate whether an option is on or off.

• If the selected option is ON, the indicator will light.

• If the selected option is OFF, the indicator will turn off.

• The status indicator will turn on or off when an option is changed.

8. Turn ignition off to exit programming.

See the Programmable Options Chart for details on specific options.

Note: Skip this step if the vehicle does not have a tach wire or if this unit will be programmed to operate without connection to the tach wire.

1. Open the vehicle hood (hood pin switch must be installed to program tach).

2. Following the steps in “Programming Selectable Options”, access Option Bank 2 / Feature 4 (Tach Programming).

3. Start the vehicle with the key, and allow the engine to come to a normal idle (5-10 seconds). The unit will flash the parking lights every three (3) seconds to indicate that it has learned the current idle speed.

For Tach Averaging, both Starter Key and Starter Motor wires must be hooked up.

The programmable options are divided into banks. Default settings are indicated in BOLD in the original documentation, which is reflected below.
