To use the RS370 Excalibur Remote Start/Keyless Entry System, follow these steps for both the remote start and keyless entry functions:

1. Using the Keyless Entry Feature:

Locking the Doors:
- To lock your vehicle’s doors, press and release the "Lock" button on your Excalibur remote. The lock icon on the remote usually looks like a closed padlock or car lock symbol.
- The vehicle’s parking lights may flash, and you might hear a chirp confirming that the doors are locked.
Unlocking the Doors:
- To unlock your vehicle’s doors, press and release the "Unlock" button on your remote. The unlock icon typically looks like an open padlock or car unlock symbol.
- One press may unlock the driver’s door, and a second press might unlock all doors, depending on your system settings. The parking lights may flash, and you may hear a chirp confirming that the doors are unlocked.

2. Using the Remote Start Feature:

Prepare for Remote Start:
- Ensure that the vehicle is in Park (for automatic transmissions) or Neutral (for manual transmissions with a safety switch). All doors, the hood, and the trunk must be closed, and the brake pedal must not be pressed.
- Make sure the system is not in Valet Mode, as Valet Mode disables remote start functionality.
Activate Remote Start:
- To start your vehicle remotely, press and hold the "Remote Start" button (often marked with a circular arrow or a car with a start icon) on your Excalibur remote for 2-3 seconds.
- The parking lights will flash to indicate that the remote start command has been received, and the engine will start. The parking lights usually remain on while the vehicle is running remotely.
Enter the Vehicle:
- After the engine starts, unlock the doors using the remote by pressing the Unlock button.
- Enter the vehicle, and for vehicles with a standard key ignition, insert the key and turn it to the "ON" position (do not turn to the start position, as the engine is already running). For push-button start vehicles, press the brake pedal and push the start button as usual to complete the ignition sequence.
Remote Start Duration:
- The engine will run for a pre-programmed duration, typically 10 to 20 minutes, before automatically shutting off if the vehicle is not driven. This duration can often be adjusted in the system settings.

3. Turning Off Remote Start:

To turn off the engine while it is running remotely, press the Remote Start button on your remote again. This will stop the engine and end the remote start sequence.

4. Additional Functions:

Trunk Release (if equipped): Press and hold the Trunk button on your remote (usually marked with a trunk or open hatch icon) for 2-3 seconds to release the trunk latch.
Panic Mode: Press and hold the Panic button (often marked with an exclamation mark or horn icon) to activate the vehicle's panic alarm. Press the button again to turn off the alarm.

5. Exiting Valet Mode (if needed):

Valet Mode disables the remote start function. To exit Valet Mode, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position and press the Valet/Override button (a hidden button often located under the dashboard) once or twice until you hear a chirp or see the LED indicator turn off, confirming Valet Mode is deactivated.

By following these steps, you can easily operate the keyless entry and remote start functions of your RS370 Excalibur Remote Start/Keyless Entry System, providing convenience and added security for your vehicle.
