THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AN ASTROSTART REMOTE CAR STARTER! Like you, Astroflex is concerned with the environment. This is why we are suggesting that you use the two-minute runtime when you remote-start your vehicle to warm up engine fluids. Ask your dealer. We take this opportunity to remind you to properly defrost your windows and remove all the snow on your vehicle before driving on public roads.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before using this product, carefully read the following safety precautions. GENERAL RULES • Never perform a remote start when a person or animal is inside the vehicle. • Do not allow any person or animal to remain inside the vehicle when the engine is running under remote starter control (continuous mode). • Immediately report any malfunction to the AstroStart dealer that performed the installation. • Under no circumstance can this product or its use be modified.
SAFETY SEQUENCE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES Your remote starter was designed to force you to perform a series of actions that will ensure that the gearshift lever is in neutral position when you exit the vehicle. This series of actions is called a "Safety sequence" and is aimed at preventing any remote start in situations where remote starting the engine would not be safe.
THE REMOTE CONTROL Your remote control works off a small, long-life 12-volt alkaline battery (27A). The range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots. With its electronic CODE LEARNING feature, up to four remote controls can be programmed for your vehicle. We strongly recommend that you keep a replacement battery in your glove compartment. See your dealer for replacement batteries or additional remote controls.
CONFIRMATION In all cases, your remote starter will confirm that a command has been received properly by flashing parking lights. The horn provides certain confirmations when connected to system (requires optional wiring and material). In this manual, confirmation signals are written in an abbreviated form; for example: (lights: 2) means that parking lights will flash twice. Confirmations are explained in more detail under each command. START COMMANDS START To start the engine, press button (lights: 1).
CONTINUOUS MODE The “Continuous Mode“ function allows to remove the key from the ignition while leaving the engine running. This convenient feature allows you to leave the vehicle for short periods of time while the climate controls remain on. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES To access Continuous Mode, press the button while engine is idling. Parking lights, engine and preset accessories will remain on for the duration of the programmed runtime.
LOW TEMPERATURE MODE In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, system starts your engine automatically when temperature falls below a preset level (programmable during installation), see table. Factory default setting is shaded. Threshold temperature is set for -5 °C ( 23 °F) -20 °C ( -7 °F) -15 °C ( 5 °F) -30 °C ( -22 °F) Engine will run for programmed runtime, after which system will wait 2½ hours and then start engine again if temperature is still below preset level. Factory default setting is shaded.
UNLOCK Press the button; doors are unlocked and parking light flashes twice to confirm command has been received. The “Unlock“ function can be programmed and connected in such a way that the first Unlock command only unlocks the driver's door, while a following Unlock command unlocks the other door(s). Dome light will turn on for 30 seconds every time (optional connection during installation). • Unlock command is sent. • Engine is stopped (ignition switch). • Continuous mode is activated.
CODE LEARNING OF ADDITIONAL TRANSMITTER(S) Four different remote controls can be programmed for a given vehicle. If a fifth remote is added, the first remote is deleted. Note: When the first code learning command is sent, all the old codes are cleared out. Therefore if you want to add a new remote, all the old ones must be reprogrammed as well. One or more remote transmitters can be added.
GEARSHIFT CHECK APPLICABLE TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES Make sure the parking brake is operational, i.e. it has the capability of immobilizing the vehicle. If the parking brake cannot stop the wheels from turning, which is not safe, place the main switch in "OFF" position until the situation is rectified. DETECTION OF PARKING BRAKE STATUS 1. Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm the safety sequence is valid. Make sure not to apply the brakes. 2.
