service. Its advanced microprocessor circuitry incorporates billions of possible

Please take time to read these instructions carefully. Some features may not be
installed or applicable to your vehicle.

Safety Precautions!

• Always turn OFF the main switch when parking your vehicle in a closed,
non-ventilated garage or when the vehicle is being serviced.

• Always turn OFF the main switch when the ASTROSTART™ is not being
used for extended periods of time.

• Keep the transmitter away from children’s reach.

• For proper ASTROSTART™ operation, regular engine tune-ups are

recommended.

• Always turn OFF the wiper switch before leaving your vehicle.

• Test your hood pin switch regularly to ensure safe operation. This switch

stops the engine when hood is open.

• Check for any local legislation that would prohibit leaving a running vehicle
unattended on public streets.

• Always advise service personnel that your vehicle is equipped with an
ASTROSTART™.

• A yearly check up of your Remote Starter is strongly recommended. Contact
the ASTROSTART™ dealer in your area.

BEFORE YOU USE YOUR ASTROSTART™

• Select the desired setting for the heater/AC system (when the
ASTROSTART™ starts the vehicle the heating / AC system will resume
operation).

• Make sure that:

• the transmission shifter is in the “NEUTRAL” position

• the hand brake is applied

• your ASTROSTART™ has sent the code 1 to confirm that the system is

ready to receive a command.7

7 This code is sent as an audio signal (beep) generated by the

ASTROSTART™ system . This code is sent each time the brake pedal is
released in absence of the ignition key, or when the ignition key is turned from
START to OFF.

If the remote starter sends a different code, rectify the situation as per the table
below:

• Code 2 The transmission shifter is out of the “ NEUTRAL” position.

• Code 3 The hand brake is not applied properly.

• Code 4 The security sequence has not been recognized 0.

0 This sequence is part of the security features, it checks the position of the
transmission shifter at all times. This sequence is validated each time the
transmission shifter passes form the “IN GEAR” position to the “NEUTRAL”
position when the hand brake is not applied.
