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 two small 3 volts lithium batteries ( CR2016). When replacing the batteries, make sure to place the new batteries in the up right position (see the illustration), also make sure to put the small isolating strip back. 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.
RIGGER INPUT Your remote starter is equipped with a negative trigger (pulse) input. This input can be connected to another remote control device or to an AstroStart RTS-2 timer output (optional), part no. 310-903-502. If this input is connected, consult this device's manual or ask your technician which command controls the Start/Stop function.
OTHER COMMANDS LOW TEMPERATURE MODE In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, system starts your engine at 2½ hour intervals when the temperature falls below a preset level. The engine runs for the duration that was set during the previous usage. Each repeated command changes the runtime to the next setting (see table).
