The ScyTek Astra 4000RS SERIES is a combination vehicle security and remote starting system. With proper
installation this system will provide superior protection and performance for many years to come.
The Astra 4000RS SERIES built-in remote start feature is designed to offer maximum convenience by
remote starting your vehicle’s engine, turning on the heater/air conditioner, and then running for a predetermined time to provide a comfortable environment once you enter your vehicle.
To ensure the safety and security of the system while it is remote started, the Astra 4000RS SERIES employs
several safeguards. In the event the alarm is triggered while the engine is remotely running, the remote
start will immediately shutdown to prevent unauthorized users from attempting to drive the vehicle. The
system is equipped with a hood pin input to prevent access to the engine compartment while the vehicle
is remotely running. The Valet Mode prevents the remote start feature from operating in the event the
vehicle is to be serviced. Finally, the brake pedal also acts as a safety by shutting down the remote start
when pressed.

• Main Unit
• One 5-Button 2-Way LCD Remote and One 5- Button Random Code Transmitter (4000RS-2W-1)

About Your System
PLEASE NOTE:
Some of the features described in this manual may require additional parts and/or labor, and may not be included
as part of the standard installation of this unit. Additionally, many features of this security system have
selectable options that must be activated or programmed during the system’s installation. These items will be
identified in the following sections. Please discuss these features and any questions you may have regarding the
installation of this product with Your Authorized Dealer.
