INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the ASTROSTART Remote Control Engine Starter. Your Remote Starter is the result of intensive research by a company specializing in the design of high-quality electronic automotive products. ASTROSTART is designed to provide many years of reliable, trouble-free service. Its advanced microchip circuitry incorporates billions of possible access codes which makes it practically impossible to interfere with another remote control vehicle.
BEFORE USING YOUR REMOTE STARTER Before leaving your vehicle, set the various controls in order to use your Remote Starter. Set heating/air-conditioning to desired position. (When Remote Starter starts your engine, it will also turn on your climate control system.) Make sure: ¾ windshield wipers are “OFF”. ¾ gearshift is in PARK; USING MAIN SWITCH Main switch is usually installed under dashboard. It is a toggle ON/OFF switch that is used to cancel start functions only.
REMOTE CONTROL Your remote control works off a small, long-life 12-volt alkaline battery (GP-23A) that should last up to 6 months. Range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots. With an electronic CODE LEARNING device, up to three additional remote controls can be programmed for your vehicle. See your dealer for replacement batteries or additional remote controls.

Trigger input Your Remote Starter is equipped with a negative trigger input. This input can be connected to another remote control device or timer output. If this input is connected, consult device manual or ask your technician which command is associated with start/stop function. All start/stop functions controlled by this input operate in same way as input controlled by remote control. START ONLY With horn confirmation. Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.
To activate Sentinel Mode Enter command from table (horn: 0, lights: 1). Lights will flash once then, if temperature is below -15ºC (5ºF), engine will start after a 4½-second pause. This pause lets you distinguish between a regular start and an automatic (low temperature) start. If temperature is above -15ºC (5ºF), Sentinel waits until it goes below -15ºC (5ºF) before starting. If system cannot execute command (for example, hood is open), confirmation will be different (horn: 0, lights: 3).
OTHER COMMANDS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS If your vehicle is equipped with electric door locks, several functions can be operated by remote control. These features are optional and may require purchasing additional equipment. Consult your dealer for advice. Following systems can be controlled: ¾ door locks; ¾ opening trunk or unlocking tailgate; ¾ interior lights. Locking doors Enter “Lock” command from table (horn: 0, lights: 1) or ((horn: 0, lights: 0) ❁ programmable during installation).
DOME LIGHT Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation. Dome light will turn on for 30 seconds every time “Unlock” command is sent. This 30second duration is cancelled when “Lock” command is sent or brakes are applied. AUTOMATIC LOCK/UNLOCK Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation. This function locks doors when ignition key is in “ON” position, engine is running and brakes are applied. Doors are unlocked when key is turned from “ON” to “OFF” or when Continuous Mode is activated.
IF ENGINE FAILS TO START If your system cannot start your vehicle at first attempt, it will wait a few seconds and then try again (it could try again twice depending on reason for failure to start), after which it will shut down automatically and wait for new command. SAFETY CHECKS In order to maintain high safety standard, proceed with following routine checks every month. HOOD SWITCH ¾ Start your vehicle with Remote Starter. ¾ Open hood. Engine should stop as soon as hood is opened.
