Introduction
This Module is a state-of-the-art remote car starter system. The system is packed with
advanced features such as priority access to the driver’s door and the Safe Start children
safety feature. Among other sophistications, it features super-heterodyne transmission
technology for increased range of operation.
With many an advanced function, this product will satisfy any one of the user’s expectations
from high-end commodity systems, without neglecting any standard feature commonly offered
by entry-level starters.
Basic Remote Operation
Your system is equipped with a multi-channel 5-button remote transmitter. It can operate two
independent identically-equipped vehicles (see Multi-car Operation for 2
P. 2 User Guide AS-1525 SH
nd
car functions).
Note: Pressing the
Remote-starting Your Vehicle
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same time will activate the AUX2 output.
Press the START button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON, informing you that
the unit has received your signal. The engine will start approximately 5 seconds later. The
parking lights will remain on during the entire pre-programmed engine run time.
If the vehicle doesn’t start the first time, the system will shut off, wait a few seconds and try to
start the engine again. It will make three start attempts before giving up.
Vehicle Presets
Heater and Heated Seat: When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory
controls in preparation for the next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and
rear, as well as heated seats (if equipped) should not be left on
leave the settings on
LOW or MEDIUM instead.
HIGH. It is recommended to

windshield wiper and / or headlight circuits to become energized while running under remote
start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the windshield wiper and headlight

Driving Off
OFF. Leaving the headlight switch ON on certain types of vehicles could cause them
ON even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead battery.
With the vehicle running under remote control, press the UNLOCK button to disarm the system
(and unlock the doors if keyless entry is installed). Enter the vehicle and do the following:
1. Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
2. Press the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter unit.
You are now ready to drive off.
Caution! Upon entering your vehicle after it has been remote-started, do not turn the key
to the CRANK position while the engine is running. This would cause the starter motor to reengage, unless the anti-grind feature is installed.
Advanced Features
Idle Mode
This feature allows you to remove the ignition key from the ignition switch and leave the vehicle
running without the key while you are away from your vehicle, until the pre-programmed engine
run time expires or until it the vehicle is shut down with the remote control. This feature may be
handy if you need to make a short stop (for a delivery, to a convenience store, etc.). To learn
more about the run time, see Engine Run Time on page 8.
