Operating Your AviStart System

Remote Engine Start - Safety and Counter-Theft

I CAUTION: Be sure to read the "WARNING" bulletin on the inside
cover of this manual before attempting to operate remote start.
Automatic Safety and Counter-Theft Features
Before remote starting your engine, the AviStart system will automatically
perform a safety check to ensure the following conditions have been met:
• Brake pedal is not depressed.
• Engine and ignition are turned "OFF."
• Hood is closed.
After remote starting your engine, the AviStart system will shut off the engine
immediately if the ignition is "OFF" and any of the following occurs:
• The hood is opened.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
• The remote control START button is pressed.
• The 20 minute run time expired.
Visual Fault Indication
When you press the remote control button to start your engine, the AviStart's
built-in fault detection system will automatically scan all of the safety zones. If
a fault is detected, the system will prevent your engine from remote starting
and provides a visual indication to show where the fault has occurred. The
parking lights will flash 1 time if a hood switch fault is detected, 3 times if a
brake switch fault is detected and 4 times if the system is in "Protected Valet
Mode" (see page 6 for a description of this feature). If this occurs, you may
need to bring your vehicle to your authorized Avital dealer for service.

Remote Engine Start - Operation

Your AviStart system will start your vehicle engine with a touch of a button on
your remote control. Before remote starting, ensure the vehicle is in "Park" and
the key is not in the ignition. To cool or warm the interior of your vehicle,
preset the climate control to your preference (heater, defrost or air
conditioning). Set the fan to a medium speed (not maximum).
