Warning! Safety ﬁrst

The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:

Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.

When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an enclosed area or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage). When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from children all remote control transmitters to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions are the sole

responsibility of the user.

Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized Directed dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the authorized Directed dealer to ﬁx the problem. After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be removed or the installer must properly reinstall the remote start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear.

iii

All installations must be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.

OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED Directed DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

Important information

Congratulations on the purchase of your combination remote start alarm system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are provided with a preprinted dealer cer tiﬁ cate to verify authorization. By carefully reading this Owner’s Guide prior to using your system, you will maximize the use of this system and its features. You can print additional or replacement copies of this manual by accessing our web site at www.avital.com.

➢System maintenance

The system requires no speciﬁc main te nance. Your remote is pow ered by a small, lightweight 3-volt CR2032 battery that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery begins to weaken, operating range is reduced and the LED on the remote dims.

➢ Your warranty

Your warranty registration must be completely ﬁlled out and returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned. Make sure you receive the warranty registration from your dealer. It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reﬂects that the product was installed by an au tho rized dealer.

➢Fcc/id notice

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two con di tions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any in ter fer ence re ceived, including in ter fer ence that may cause undesirable op er a tion. Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

➢Caution

This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and contrary to the product’s intended use.

Transmitter functions

The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the trans mit ter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any remote transmitter button to any receiver function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with Standard Conﬁguration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard Conﬁguration transmitter.

Using your system

➢ Active arming

You can arm the system by pressing When the system arms, you will hear a short siren chirp and see the parking lights ﬂash once. If the power door locks are con trolled by the system, the doors will also lock. While the sys tem is armed, the status LED will ﬂash approximately once per sec ond, indicating that the system is actively pro tect ing your vehicle.

Note: If you hear a second chirp after arming and note that the status LED is ﬂashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass No ti ﬁ ca tion.

➢ Passive arming

The system can be programmed to arm itself au to mat i cal ly (called pas sive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-sec ond passive arming count down, the status LED will ﬂash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed. At the 20-second point of the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is about to arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will ﬂash to indicate that the system is armed.

Important: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless forced Passive Arming is programmed on. See Programming Options section).
