SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using this product, carefuiiy read the foiiowing safety precautions.

Make sure the parking brake is operationai, i.e. it has the capabiiity of immobiiizing the vehicie. The gearshift iever must not be accessibie without the remote starter system being abie to detect the

opening of a door (and the rear hatch, if appiicabie). in the case of convertibie vehicies, it is strongiy recommended that a motion detector be

integrated to the system.

Never perform a remote start when a person or animai is inside the vehicie. Do not aiiow any person or animai to remain inside the vehicie when the engine is running under

remote starter controi (continuous mode). Keep remote controis away from chiidren at aii time. immediateiy report any maifunction to the AstroStart deaier that performed instaiiation.

Under no circumstance can this product or its use be modified.

Aiways turn off main switch when vehicie is parked in an enciosed, unventiiated area or is in for servicing.

Aiways turn off main switch when not using your Remote Starter for extended periods of time. Have your engine tuned reguiariy to ensure optimum performance of your Remote Starter. Make sure that the windshieid wipers and the headiights are turned off before ieaving vehicie. Reguiariy check the system's safety features (see “Safety Checks” on page 18.) Aiways advise service personnei that your vehicie is equipped with a Remote Starter and a starter

cut function. Make sure you compiy with aii iocai reguiations which may prohibit ieaving your engine running

when vehicie is unattended in a pubiic piace. To ensure continued safe operation of your remote starter, ask your AstroStart deaier to periodicaiiy

check and/or tune the remote starting system.

Aii users of the vehicie shouid be aware of the safety precautions and operation procedures.

Make sure that the warning sticker is present on the driver's window.

USING YOUR REMOTE STARTER

SAFETY SEQUENCE

Your remote starter was designed to force you to perform a series of actions that wiii ensure that the gearshift iever is in neutrai position when you exit the vehicie. This series of actions is caiied a "Safety sequence” and is aimed at preventing any remote start in situations where remote starting the engine wouid not be safe. Shouid the iiftgate or any door be opened at any time, the intrusion wiii be detected and the safety sequence wiii be canceiied by the system, thus preventing a remote start. in such cases, the sequence must be repeated to aiiow for an eventuai remote start. The system offers two execution modes for the sequence. These options must be set at time of instaiiation. The first mode is initiated by the parking brake and the other by the remote controi. The safety sequence must be performed as foiiows.

Sequence activated by the parking brake □ .

1. Whiie engine is running (key in ignition switch), appiy the brakes and hoid the pedai down.

2. Move gearshift iever to neutrai.

3. Appiy the parking brake O Once O Twice

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 key from ignition (the system keeps the engine running).

5. Exit the vehicie.

6. Within 60 seconds, ciose all doors.

7. The system wiii stop the engine and biink the parking brakes once to confirm the sequence is vaiid (vehicie is ready for a remote start command).

Sequence activated by the remote control □

1. Whiie engine is running (key in ignition switch), appiy the brakes and hoid the pedai down.

2. Move gearshift iever to neutrai.

3. Appiy parking brake.

4. Press dmr button on your remote controi.

5. Remove key from ignition (the system keeps the engine running).

6. Exit the vehicie.

7. Press the # button on your remote controi. The system wiii stop the engine and parking iights wiii biink once to confirm the sequence is vaiid (vehicie is ready for a remote start command).

notes : If you reiease the brake pedai and depress it once more during or after the execution of the

safety sequence, the safety sequence wiii be invaiidated and any remote start wiii be impossibie.

If the engine stops when the key is removed from the ignition, the safety sequence is invaiid. Perform a new safety sequence. If probiem persists, consuit your instaiier.

SYSTEM SET-UP

When leaving your vehicle, you should prepare it for a future remote start.

• Set heating/air-conditioning controls to desired position. (When the remote starter starts your engine, it will also turn on your climate control system.)

• Turn your windshield wipers to the “OFF” position to prevent the wiper mechanism from being damaged should the wipers be frozen or stalled under snow.

• Make sure that the remote starter has detected a valid safety sequence.

• Make sure the headlights are turned off.

• Make sure not to leave your keys in the vehicle, since some rearming functions automatically lock the doors.

THE REMOTE CONTROL

Your remote control has been designed to fit the natural contours of your hands so that it is easier to use. It works off three long-life lithium batteries.

It can control two vehicles separately. Up to four remote controls can be assigned to your vehicle. See

your dealer for replacement batteries or 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.

USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

Your remote control can transmit on two different channels, allowing control of two separate vehicles.

Only the “Panic” command is transmitted on both channels simultaneously.

Each command being transmitted is confirmed by both an audible and a visual signal (LED indicator).

CHANNEL 1:

To transmit a command on channel 1, press desired button for two

seconds. A command will not be executed if you do not press button long enough. Only one command will be transmitted even if a button is pressed for more than two seconds except for the

Panic button which repeats the command as long as the button is maintained.

The remote control supplied in the kit may differ from the one illustrated above.

CHANNEL 2:

To transmit a command on channel 2, press desired button, then as soon as a tone is heard or LED flashes once, release the button for a moment then press it again and hold it down for two seconds.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Your remote works off three 3-volt lithium CR-2016 batteries or equivalent.

We strongly recommend that you keep a replacement set in your glove compartment.

To replace the batteries, remove screw on back of remote case, remove old batteries and replace with new ones. Make sure that batteries point the right way; see illustration opposite.
