THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AN ASTROSTART REMOTE CAR STARTER! Like you, Astroflex is concerned with the environment. This is why we are suggesting that you use the two-minute runtime when you remote-start your vehicle to warm up engine fluids. Ask your dealer. We take this opportunity to remind you to properly defrost your windows and remove all the snow on your vehicle before driving on public roads.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before using this product, carefully read the following safety precautions. GENERAL RULES • Never perform a remote start when a person or animal is inside the vehicle. • Do not allow any person or animal to remain inside the vehicle when the engine is running under remote starter control (continuous mode). • Immediately report any malfunction to the AstroStart dealer that performed the installation. • Under no circumstance can this product or its use be modified.
SAFETY SEQUENCE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES Your remote starter was designed to force you to perform a series of actions that will ensure that the gearshift lever is in neutral position when you exit the vehicle. This series of actions is called a "Safety sequence" and is aimed at preventing any remote start in situations where remote starting the engine would not be safe.
THE REMOTE CONTROL Your remote control works off two small 3 volts lithium batteries ( CR2016). See your dealer for replacement batteries or additional remote controls. The range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots. With its electronic CODE LEARNING feature, up to four remote controls can be programmed for your vehicle.
CONFIRMATION In all cases, your remote starter will confirm that a command has been received properly by flashing parking lights. The horn provides certain confirmations when connected to system (requires optional wiring and material). In this manual, confirmation signals are written in an abbreviated form; for example: (lights: 2) means that parking lights will flash twice. Confirmations are explained in more detail under each command.
CONTINUOUS MODE | The “Continuous Mode“ function allows to remove the key from the ignition while leaving the engine running. This convenient feature allows you to leave the vehicle for short periods of time while the climate controls remain on. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES To access Continuous Mode, send start command (Model 801 - 2101 - Model 903 ) while engine is idling.
LOW TEMPERATURE MODE (Model 903 only) In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, system starts your engine automatically when temperature falls below a preset level (programmable during installation). See table. Factory default setting is shaded. Engine will run for programmed runtime (see table), after which system will wait 2½ hours and then start engine again if temperature is still below preset level. Factory default setting is shaded.
UNLOCK Press the button. Doors are unlocked and parking light flashes twice to confirm command has been received. The “Unlock“ function can be programmed and connected in such a way that the first Unlock command only unlocks the driver's door, while a following Unlock command unlocks the other door(s). Dome light will turn on for 30 seconds every time (optional connection during installation): • Unlock command is sent. • Engine is stopped (ignition switch). • Continuous mode is activated.
PANIC (903 only) Panic mode is used to attract attention if you are in difficulties. This command will not be executed if engine is kept running by ignition key. Use the stop command to abort panic mode or depress brake pedal. Press and hold, for at least 4 seconds, any of the , (OPTION 1), OR (OPTION 2) buttons. This command activates parking lights, horn, and dome light, depending on which is connected to system, for 30 seconds or 60 seconds depending on programming during installation.
GEARSHIFT CHECK APPLICABLE TO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES If key must be in ignition for gearshift to be moved out of P, your vehicle is safe as long as keys are kept away from children. If, on the other hand, gearshift can be put in gear without the key being in the ignition, proceed with this simple check. • Put gearshift in gear (D). • Remain in the vehicle and be ready to apply brakes. • Start vehicle with remote starter.
