Remote-Starting Your Vehicle
Setting Your Vehicle into Ready Mode
This product is designed for vehic les with a manual transmission only. In order to s tart the vehicle
by remote, the unit must first b e set to Ready Mode. If the unit is not set to Ready M ode, it cannot
remote-start the vehicle.
Once the system is set to Ready Mode, the vehicle can be remote-started and stopped at wish.
The system will exit Ready Mode if a door or the hood is opened, if the brake pedal is pressed, if
the parking brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
Page 8
P. 8 AS-2360TW User Guide
To set the system to Ready Mode:
1. Ensure that all the doors are closed and that the gear selector is in the neutral position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake and release the brake pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
3. Within 20 sec. press LOCK, UNLOCK or START/STOP on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will go on running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close the door.
6. Press and hold either:
a. LOCK to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
b. UNLOCK to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
c. START/STOP to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
Remaining In Ready Mode
Once the vehicle is in Ready Mode you can st art and stop the vehicle at wish. However, should
any of the following occur, the vehicle will exit Ready Mode – thus eliminating the remote start
option until Ready Mode is restored:
• Door opened;
• Hood ope ned;
• Brake pedal pressed;
• Park ing brak e dis e nga ged;
• Ignition key turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
Should any of the above occur, Ready Mode will be cancelled.
Note: The uni t will notify the user that it has exited Ready Mode by giving 3 slow flashes
(parking lights).
Remote-starting
Press the START/STOP button for approx. 1 second. The p arking lights will come ON to inform you
that the Remote Car Starter has receiv ed your signal. Approximately 5 seconds later, the engine

instead.
Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights
Certain vehicles require the ra dio and / or windshield wiper and / or h eadlight circuits to become
energized while running under r emote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the
windshield wiper and headlight s witches are

• Flashing LED ON: the L.E.D. will fl ash at all times (either under active a rming or under passive
arming) to indicate that the starter kill is active.
• Active Arming: the LED will flash normally.
• Passive Arming: the LED will not flash during the countdown preceding the
activation of the Starter Kill. Once the Remote Car Starter
is armed, the LED will flash at a normal rate.
• In Valet Mode: the LED will remain lit without flashing.
• Flashing LED OFF: the LED will not flash even when the module is armed (either under ac tive or
passive arming). Nevertheless, if the module enters valet mode, the LED will still remain lit
without flashing as long as the ignition is off.
Safe Start
If this feature is enabled, the user must press the
START/STOP button 2 times within 3 seconds to
remote-start the vehicle. This will eli minate ac cidental remote s tarts, e.g . when ch ildren are playing
with the transmitter.
1. Press and release the START/STOP button.
The parking lights will turn on.
2. Within 2 s econds of the parking lights turning o n, press and release START/STOP again (before
the parking lights turn off).
If Swap Start Mode is selected, to r emote-start your vehic le press
SHIFT and then LOCK. The AUX 2
output can be activated by pressing the
START/STOP button.
Ignition-controlled Door Locks
This is an added security feature. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the IgnitionControlled Door Locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is
turned to the
IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. W hen the key is turned to the
OFF position, the doors will automatically be unlocked.
Ignition Re-lock
On Remote Car Starters of this series , when Ignition-controlled Door Locks are enabled and the
ignition key is in the
IGNITION ON (RUN) position, should any door be unlock ed and opened, all doors
will be relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed.
Secure Lock
Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the Remote Car Starter must first disarm the factory
security system. The Secure Lock feature may be required on certain vehicle mod els with factory
security systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed.
To keep your vehicle protected when the factory sec urity system is disarmed for a remote start,
Secure Lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle
ends, Secure Lock will rearm your factory security system.
Turbo Mode
When left in Turbo Mode, the Remote Car Starter will keep the engine running for 60 seconds
before shutting it down. This is to allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the
vehicle. See Turbo Mode section earlier in this Guide.
Remote Trunk Release
If your system was installed with the remote trunk release option, you can open your trunk by
pressing the
TRUNK button for 3 seconds.

Engine Run Time
If you have a gas engine, your Rem ote Car Starter ca n be pro gramm ed to ru n the engine f or 4, 15,
or 25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the Remote Car St arter can be
programmed to run the engine for 9, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default).
Extended Run Time
With the vehicle running under a remote s tart, pres sin g and holdi ng the START/STOP button fo r more
than 1 second will reset the run time counter to zero and restart the run time cycle from the
beginning.
To stop the vehicle, at any moment, simply press the
START/STOP button. This procedure can only
be carried out once per remote start.
Example: if your Module is pr ogrammed for a run time of 4 minutes and y our vehicle has been
running for 3 minutes already , pres si ng the
START/STOP button will reset the counter to zer o and the
Engine will run for another cycle (in this case, 4 minutes).
Multi-car Operation
This option allows the owner of two vehicles, bot h equipped with the same Remote Car Starter
model, to control both systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle,
simultaneously press the
TRUNK button and the button of the function you wish to use.
Note: Your remote control must be configured for second car operation by the installer.
• Press SHIFT ¾ SHIFT ¾+ LOCK button simultaneously:......................... LOCK
• Press SHIFT ¾ SHIFT ¾ + UNLOCK:........................................................UNLOCK
• Press SHIFT ¾ SHIFT ¾ + START/STOP:................................................................START
• Press SHIFT ¾ SHIFT ¾ + START/STOP: .................................................. STOP
• Press SHIFT ¾ SHIFT ¾ + TRUNK:..........................................................TRUNK
Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
• The operating environment (for example: downt own radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers…)
• Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
• The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially po or
range.
• The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about consi derable radio-frequency deflection (in
this case the signal from the remote control). As a res ult, the direction in which the vehicl e is
facing in relation to the remote control c an affect the range. Straigh t on – standing in front of
the vehicle – generally gives you the great es t rang e; the second best performance is from the
back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest
range.
• The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
• Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter
against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
• The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or
factory alarm.
