Congratulations on your purchase of the AutoCommand
by remote control from the comfort of your home or office in order to cool it down in the summer or heat it up in the winter.
AutoCommand
®
OEM Series is for automatic transmission/fuel injected vehicles only. It is an extremely sophisticated system with multiple built-in safety and security
features.
• Will start your car by remote control, and run the heater, defroster, or
air conditioner to warm up or cool down the car.
• Is designed to start the car if it is in park, and only if the hood is
closed.
• Has Lock, Unlock and Trunk keyless entry features.
• Will attempt to start the car for up to six seconds, but no longer (to
avoid damage to the starter motor). Should the car not start, or if it
stalls after starting, the remote starter will make two further attempts
to start it.
• Has alarm functions including starter kill which becomes active when
the doors are locked with the remote control.
• Will not let the car be driven without the key in the ignition.
• Shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (programmable) if
you forget to come out to your car.
