INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the AstroStart Remote Starter. Your Remote Starter is the result of intensive research by a company specializing in the design of high-quality electronic automotive products. It is designed to provide many years of reliable, trouble-free service. Its advanced microchip circuitry incorporates billions of possible access codes, which makes it virtually impossible to interfere with another remote control vehicle.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before using this product, carefully read the following safety precautions. • Immediately report any malfunction to the AstroStart dealer that performed installation. • Under no circumstance can this product or its use be modified. • Always turn off main switch when vehicle is parked in an enclosed, unventilated area or is in for servicing.
THE REMOTE CONTROL Your remote control works off a small, long-life 12-volt alkaline battery (GP-23A). The range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots. With its electronic CODE LEARNING feature, up to three additional remote controls can be programmed for your vehicle.
START COMMANDS START /STOP (Options 2 & 3) The Start-Stop command is in fact the reason for being of your remote starter. It allows you to start or stop your vehicle without stepping outdoors. • Press the button once. UPON STARTING The parking lights will flash once to confirm the reception of the command, then will stay ON as long as the engine will be running under remote control.

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 timer output (optional). If this input is connected, consult this device's manual or ask your technician which command controls the start/stop function.
LOW TEMPERATURE MODE In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, system starts Threshold temperature is set for your engine automatically when temperature falls -5 °C ( 23 °F) -20 °C ( -7 °F) below a preset level (programmable during -15 °C ( 5 °F) -30 °C ( -22 °F) installation), see table.
TRUNK RELEASE (Option 3 only) Press the buttons simultaneously (lights: 3). Trunk is released and parking lights flash three times to confirm command has been received. The trunk cannot be released if ignition key is in “ON” position. In this case, parking lights flash once to confirm that command has been received but trunk could not be released.
