    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: Safety Sequence For Manual Transmission Vehicles

    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.

  • Page 6: The Remote Control

    THE REMOTE CONTROL 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 weak batteries, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.

  • Page 7: Ager

    EPLACING THE BATTERY When the sound becomes low-piched on a audio confirmation this means that the batteries need to be replaced. The remote control requires two 3-volt lithium batteries (CR-2430 or equivalent). We strongly recommend keeping a set of replacement batteries in your glove compartment.

  • 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 (optional connections). The bi-directional remote control is in constant communication with your vehicle. Even if you do not ask for status, it will inform you by means of icons on your remote that a door has been opened for longer than 5-minutes, that the engine has stopped, etc.
  • 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 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.

The arming/disarming functions only apply to models equipped with a security system.

  • Page 18: Other Commands

    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) . ALET NTITHEFT The Antitheft function can be deactivated for the same reasons and in the same way as the Antitheft system.
