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 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 7 EPLACING THE BATTERY The LCD of the 4-button remote has a battery icon telling you when to replace the battery. We strongly recommend keeping a replacement battery in your glove compartment. The remote controls require one AAA battery. See your dealer for spare batteries. To replace the battery, slide the latch sideways and remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control case, remove old battery and replace it with a new one.

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 to let you know engine is already running. - Page 11 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 The bi-directional remote control is in constant communication with your vehicle when the security system is enabled. 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, 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 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.

GLOSSARY IREN Siren has six different sounds, i.e., it chirps repeatedly and has six different melodies. 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 21: Code Learning Of Additional Transmitter(S)
CODE LEARNING OF ADDITIONAL TRANSMITTER(S) Four different remote controls can be programmed for a given vehicle. If a fifth remote is added, the first remote is deleted. Note: When the first code learning command is sent, all the old codes are cleared out. therefore if you want to add a new remote, all the old ones must be reprogrammed as well. -
Page 22: Gearshift Check Applicable To Manual Transmission Vehicles
GEARSHIFT CHECK APPLICABLE TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES Make sure the parking brake is operational, i.e. it has the capability of immobilizing the vehicle. If the parking brake cannot stop the wheels from turning, which is not safe, place the main switch in OFF position until the situation is rectified.
