INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosingthe

ASTRO

START

Remote Control Engine Starter. Your Remote

Starter is the result of intensive research by a company specializing in the design of

high-quality electronic automotive products.

ASTRO

START is designed to provide many

years of reliable, trouble-free service. Its advanced microchip circuitry incorporates

billions of possible access codes which makes it practically impossible to interfere with

another remote control vehicle. Your Remote Starter offers the ultimate in safety, is

simple to use and has many features to make your life easier. Please read the following

instructions carefully so that you understand how your

ASTRO

START works and can take

advantage of all these features. Some of the functions described below may not be

applicable to your vehicle.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

¾Always turn off main switch when vehicle is parked in an enclosed, unventilated area

or is in for servicing.

¾Always turn off main switch when not using your Remote Starter for extended periods

of time.

¾Keep remote controls away from children.

¾Have your engine tuned regularly to ensure optimum performance of your Remote

Starter.

¾Make sure your windshield wipers are turned off before leaving vehicle.

¾Check safety features regularly; they prevent your Remote Starter from operating

under certain conditions. (See “SAFETY CHECKS”.)

¾Make sure you comply with all local regulations which may prohibit leaving your engine

running when vehicle is unattended in a public place.

¾Always advise service personnel that your vehicle is equipped with a Remote Starter.

¾We strongly recommend that you have your Remote Starter checked annually.

Contact the dealer in your area.

BEFORE USING YOUR REMOTE STARTER

Before leaving your vehicle, set the various controls in order to use your Remote

Starter.

Set heating/air-conditioning to desired position. (When Remote Starter starts your

engine, it will also turn on your climate control system.)

Make sure:

¾windshield wipers are “OFF”.

¾gearshift is in PARK;

USING MAIN SWITCH

Main switch is usually installed under dashboard. It is

a toggle ON/OFF switch that is used to cancel start

functions only.

It does not disable other

commands which remain

active.

REMOTE CONTROL

Your remote control works off a small, long-life 12-volt alkaline battery (GP-23A) that

should last up to 6 months. Range of your remote control can be affected by a weak

battery, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.

With an electronic CODE LEARNING device, up to three additional remote controls can

be programmed for your vehicle. See your dealer for replacement batteries or additional

remote controls.

USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL

(1-, 2- or 3-button remote)

To make sure that commands are transmitted properly, press desired button for 2

seconds. Indicator light will flash momentarily then remain on while transmitting

command. A command will not be transmitted properly if you do not press button long

enough (i.e., until indicator light goes out by itself).

Example: To start, press button "A” until indicator light goes out.

CONFIRMING COMMANDS

In most cases, your system will confirm that command has been received properly. This

will be done either by sounding horn (if horn was connected during installation) or

flashing parking lights. In this manual, confirmation signals are written in an abbreviated

form; for example:

(horn: 1, lights: 2) Means that horn will sound once and parking lights will flash twice.

START COMMANDS

STARTING AND STOPPING YOUR ENGINE

To start your engine, enter command from table (horn: 0, lights: 1). System

automatically sets ignition contact time depending on your vehicle. Parking lights will

stay on all the time engine is running.

To stop engine, enter same command.

Trigger input

Your Remote Starter is equipped with a negative trigger input. This input can

be connected to another remote control device or timer output. If this input is

connected, consult device manual or ask your technician which command is

associated with start/stop function. All start/stop functions controlled by this

input operate in same way as input controlled by remote control.

START ONLY

With horn confirmation.

Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.

This command sounds the horn to confirm your vehicle has started when you cannot

see it. Enter command from table; if command has been received properly, you will get

a confirmation (horn: 1, lights: 1). Remote Starter will then send another message to

confirm that engine has started properly (horn: 2, lights: 1). Parking lights will remain on

all the time engine is running. You may repeat this command as often as you wish; it

does not stop engine.

CONTINUOUS MODE

Continuous Mode consists of sending a “Start” command while engine is already

running with key in ignition so that you can then remove ignition key.

This mode allows you to leave engine running when you leave vehicle for a short period

of time and also leaves heating/air-conditioning system on.

Enter a “Start” command while engine is running. Parking lights, engine and preset

accessories will stay on for programmed time. Remove key, exit vehicle and lock doors.

Steering column will be locked and all safety devices will remain active.

SENTINEL (LOW TEMPERATURE) MODE

Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.

In Sentinel Mode, system can start your engine automatically when temperature falls

below -15ºC (5ºF). Engine will run for programmed time, after which Sentinel Mode will

wait 2½ hours and then start engine again if temperature is still below -15ºC (5ºF). All

actions that normally stop engine when it is started by remote control (applying brakes,

opening hood, etc.) have same effect in this mode.

To activate Sentinel Mode

Enter command from table (horn: 0, lights: 1).

Lights will flash once then, if temperature is below -15ºC (5ºF), engine will start

after a 4½-second pause. This pause lets you distinguish between a regular

start and an automatic (low temperature) start. If temperature is above -15ºC

(5ºF), Sentinel waits until it goes below -15ºC (5ºF) before starting. If system

cannot execute command (for example, hood is open), confirmation will be

different (horn: 0, lights: 3).

To deactivate this mode, enter command again (horn: 0, lights: 2).

UPON ENTERING YOUR VEHICLE ...

¾Do not apply brakes; this will turn off engine immediately.

¾Insert ignition key and turn it to “ON” position.

WARNING: DO NOT TURN IGNITION KEY TO “START” POSITION.

¾Drive as usual.

WHAT WILL STOP YOUR ENGINE

For your safety, engine will not start or will stop if:

¾Remote control sends a stop message.

¾Hood is open.

¾Brakes are applied.

¾Gearshift is not in “PARK” or “NEUTRAL”.

¾Engine exceeds 3000 rpm.

¾Main switch is OFF.

ANTITHEFT (STARTER DISABLE)

Programmable as Active or Inactive during installation.

Your Remote Starter is equipped with an ANTITHEFT system. This system consists of

an output that can control a relay to cut the starter circuit of your vehicle (optional

connections.)

The ANTITHEFT system activates automatically when ignition key is turned from “ON”

to “OFF” and stays off for at least one minute; it can also be activated manually by

sending “Activate ANTITHEFT” command (see table).

The ANTITHEFT system is deactivated for one minute when you send “Deactivate

ANTITHEFT” command (see table). If you do not start your vehicle during this one-

minute period, system reactivates automatically to prevent anyone from starting your

vehicle, even with ignition key.

The wiring can be connected so that horn goes off if someone tries to start your vehicle

when it is in ANTITHEFT ACTIVE mode.

OTHER COMMANDS

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS

If your vehicle is equipped with electric door locks, several functions can be operated by

remote control. These features are optional and may require purchasing additional
