Safety Sequence For Manual Transmission Vehicles - AstroStart R SS-5225 User Manual

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 the neutral position when you exit the
vehicle. This series of actions is called a "Safety sequence" and is aimed at preventing remote starting in unsafe situations.
Should the rear hatch, liftgate or any door be opened at any time, the intrusion will be detected and the engine will not start. In such cases, the sequence must be
repeated to allow for an eventual remote start.
The system offers two execution modes for the sequence. These options must be set at the time of installation. The first mode is initiated by the parking brake
and the other by the remote control.
The safety sequence must be performed as follows.
Sequence activated by the parking brake
1. While the engine is running (key in ignition switch), apply the brakes and hold the pedal down.
2. Move the gearshift lever to neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake
Note: The system can be set - at time of installation - to require that the parking brake be applied once or twice. If set for two actuations, pause one
second between the two.
4. Remove the key from the ignition (the system keeps the engine running).
5. Exit the vehicle.
6. Within 60 seconds, close all doors.
7. The system will stop the engine (except if Turbo Mode or Continuous Mode is active). The parking lights blink once (1) to confirm the sequence is valid
(the vehicle is ready for a remote start command).
Sequence activated by the remote control
1. While the engine is running (key in ignition switch), apply the brakes and hold the pedal down.
2. Move the gearshift lever to neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Press the button on your remote control.
5. Remove the key from the ignition (the system keeps the engine running).
6. Depending on the programmed option:
Within 60 seconds, exit the vehicle,
close back all the doors then, using
the remote, send the STOP command.
Note that the Turbo mode is
not available with this option.
The parking lights will blink once to confirm that the sequence is valid (the vehicle is ready for a remote start command).
NOTES: If you release the brake pedal and press it once more during or after the execution of the safety sequence, the safety sequence will be invalidated and
any remote start will not be possible.
If the engine stops when the key is removed from the ignition, the safety sequence is invalid. Perform a new safety sequence. If the problem persists, consult
your installer.
