    THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AN ASTROSTART REMOTE CAR STARTER! Like you, Astroflex is concerned with the environment. This is why we are suggesting that you use the two-minute runtime when you remote-start your vehicle to warm up engine fluids. Ask your dealer.
  • 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 Your remote control works off a small, long-life 12-volt alkaline battery (27A). 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 four remote controls can be programmed for your vehicle. We strongly recommend that you keep a replacement battery in your glove compartment.
  • Page 7: Start Commands

    CONFIRMATION In all cases, your remote starter will confirm that a command has been received properly by flashing parking lights. The horn provides certain confirmations when connected to system (requires optional wiring and material). In this manual, confirmation signals are written in an abbreviated form; for example: (lights: 2) means that parking lights will flash twice. Confirmations are explained in more detail under each command.
  • Page 8 CONTINUOUS MODE The “Continuous Mode“ function allows to remove the key from the ignition while leaving the engine running. This convenient feature allows you to leave the vehicle for short periods of time while the climate controls remain on. To access Continuous Mode, press the button while engine is idling.
  • Page 9: Lock/Unlock Commands

    LOW TEMPERATURE MODE In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, system starts your engine Threshold temperature is set for automatically when temperature falls below a preset level -5 °C ( 23 °F) -20 °C ( -7 °F) (programmable during installation), see table. Factory default setting is -15 °C ( 5 °F) -30 °C ( -22 °F) shaded.
  • Page 10: Antitheft (Circuit Disabler)

    UNLOCK Press the button; doors are unlocked and parking light flashes twice to confirm command has been received. The “Unlock“ function can be programmed and connected in such a way that the first Unlock command only unlocks the driver's door, while a following Unlock command unlocks the other door(s). Dome light will turn on for 30 seconds every time (optional connection during installation).
  • Page 11: 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 12: 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.
