AviStart 4500 Congratulations! You have just purchased the AviStart 4500, a keyless entry and remote engine starter system manufactured by Avital Technologies, Inc. You are about to experience the convenience and luxury of being able to start your vehicle engine from the comfort of your home, office, department store or other remote location. To benefit fully from the capabilities of your AviStart system, we encourage you to read the Owner's Manual thoroughly before using the system.
Stealth Coding Technology Stealth Coding™ technology offers the most advanced protection available against "code-grabbing" devices which thieves may use to record the digital code transmitted by your remote control. When you leave the area, thieves can then play back the code to unlock the doors and deactivate your system. But Avital’s remote controls with Stealth Coding™ randomly change the code every time you use them, and your system will not respond if any code is retransmitted.
Operating Your AviStart Remote-Controlled Door Lock/Unlock To Lock the Doors: Press the remote control LOCK button for 1-2 seconds. The doors will lock, the parking lights will flash twice and the dash mounted LED will flash slowly. If the Remote Lock Starter Disable feature was programmed ON, the vehicle starter motor will be disabled . (See the "Programming Table for System Features" on page 11.) To Unlock the Doors: Press the remote control UNLOCK button for 1-2 seconds. The doors will unlock.
Remote Panic with Safety Locks™ (capability) In a threatening situation, you can activate Remote Panic with Safety Locks. When activated, the siren/horn will sound and the parking lights will flash. If you are inside your vehicle and the ignition key is "ON," the doors will lock. If you are outside the vehicle with the ignition key "OFF," the doors will unlock allowing you to move to safety. (Requires the addition of a siren or interfacing with your vehicle horn.) To Activate: 1.
Remote-Controlled Trunk Release Capability If you have the optional Trunk Release installed, simply press the remote control TRUNK button for 1-2 seconds to activate your vehicle electronic trunk release. The trunk will "pop" open (may require an optional relay). Remote-Controlled Accessory Output This output allows you to add a remote-controlled optional accessory such as a window roll-up or fuel door release. To activate your optional accessory, see the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 12.
Remote Engine Start - Operation Your AviStart system will start your vehicle engine with a touch of a button on your AviGlo™ remote control. To also cool or warm the interior of your vehicle before you enter, set the climate control to your preference (heater, defrost or air conditioning) before remote starting. Set the fan to a medium speed (not maximum). Ensure the vehicle is in "Park" and the key is not in the ignition. To Remote Start the Engine: 1.
User-Programmable Temperature-Controlled Starting Do not activate Temperature-Controlled Starting while the vehicle is in an enclosed area. I CAUTION: The AviStart system can be programmed to automatically start the vehicle engine whenever the temperature inside the vehicle reaches or drops below the preprogrammed temperature level. The AviStart will monitor the air temperature every 2½ hours and will only start the engine during extreme cold temperatures. There are three temperature levels to choose from.
To Activate: 1. While the vehicle engine is running with the ignition key turned on, press the remote control START button for 1-2 seconds. The parking lights will flash 2 times and then stay on.
