    THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AN ASTROSTART REMOTE CAR STARTER! Like you, Astroflex is concerned with the environment. This is why we suggest using the two-minute runtime when you remote start your vehicle to warm up engine fluids. We take this opportunity to remind you to properly defrost your windows and remove all the snow from your vehicle before driving on public roads.
  • Page 4: Safety Precautions

    Make sure you comply with all local regulations, which may prohibit leaving your engine running when vehicle is unattended in a public place. • To ensure continued safe operation of your remote starter, ask your AstroStart dealer to periodically check and/or tune the remote starting system. •...
  • Page 5: Preparing System

    EQUENCE ACTIVATED BY THE PARKING BRAKE While engine is running (key in ignition switch), apply the brakes and hold the pedal down. Move gearshift lever to neutral. Apply the parking brake Once Twice Note: The system can be set - at time of installation - to require that the parking brake be applied once or twice. If set for two actuations, pause one second between the two.
  • Page 6: The Remote Controls

    THE REMOTE CONTROLS Each remote control can control two distinct remote starters. A maximum of four remote controls can be assigned to your vehicle. See your dealer for additional remote controls. NOTE: The range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.

  • Page 10: Start Commands

    START COMMANDS STARTING THE ENGINE To start engine, press button. The system automatically adjusts ignition duration for your type of vehicle; parking lights flash once (duration: four seconds) then stay on all the time when the engine is running. If more than one command is sent, each successive start command resets the runtime to the beginning, parking lights flash once to confirm command has been received and horn sounds once (programmable during installation) to let you know engine is already running.
  • Page 11: Turbo Mode

    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 RST-2 timer output (optional), part number 310-903-502. If this input is connected, consult this device's manual or ask your technician which command controls the Start/Stop function.
  • Page 12 LOW TEMPERATURE MODE In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, system starts your engine automatically when the temperature falls below a preset level. Engine will run for programmed runtime, after which the system will wait 2½ hours and then start the engine again if temperature is still below preset level.
  • Page 13: Security System

    SECURITY SYSTEM This section applies to an AstroStart safety system (optional) and should not be mistaken for the vehicle’s original system. On such a system, the remote can only warn of an alarm status (Alarm Link) (optional connections). bi-directional remote...
  • Page 14 OPERATION Your alarm system has three different operating modes: active, semi-passive rearming and passive rearming depending on initial programming. See the relevant paragraph for the mode your system was configured in during installation. Following a rearming, the last remote that transmitted a command to the system will receive confirmation of the rearming. ACTIVE In active mode, the alarm must be armed and disarmed using the remote (see Table of Commands on page 6).
  • Page 15 The following table shows the effect that each zone has on the rearming cycle. Protection zone Effect on rearming cycle Hood Doors These four zones prolong rearming cycle as long as they remain in violation.

  • Page 17: Lock/Unlock Commands And Alarm System Arming/Disarming

    GLOSSARY IREN Siren has six different sounds, i.e., it chirps repeatedly and has six different melodies (only supplied with optional alarm kit). It chirps intermittently (short repeated chirps) during a pre-alarm and continuously during an alarm condition. It can confirm ARM and DISARM commands with short chirps; see table in CONFIRMATION section. This function is programmable as ACTIVE or INACTIVE during installation.
  • Page 18: Other Commands

    UNLOCK / DISARM Press the button, doors are unlocked and alarm is disarmed, parking lights flash and siren chirps twice to confirm command has been received and that no alarm condition was generated during your absence. If there was a violation, confirmation is different (4 flashes or chirps) to warn you. See table of alarm codes to know which zone generated alarm condition.
  • Page 19 This type of antitheft system is armed by sending a ‘Lock’ command (unless ignition key is in ‘RUN’ position) and is disarmed by sending an ‘Unlock’ command. The indicator light (optional) blinks continuously when antitheft system is armed (if the AstroStart security system is not armed) . (Antitheft) ALET The Antitheft function can be deactivated for the same reasons and in the same way as the Antitheft system.
  • Page 20: Car Finder

REMOTE SILENT MODE The remote can be programmed to be used in silent mode. Remote controls Refer to the following table to select the necessary command.
  • Page 21: Code Learning Of Additional Transmitter(S)
