THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AN ASTROSTART REMOTE CAR STARTER! Like you, Astroflex Electronics 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). When replacing the batteries, make sure to place the new batteries in the up right position (see the illustration), also make sure to put the small isolating strip back. 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.
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. THE START / STOP COMMAND START / STOP (RS-611) The Start-Stop command is in fact the reason for being of your remote starter.
ENGINE RUNTIME Your engine will stop automatically after a preset time of 2 min. , 4 min. settings during installation. Runtime doubles for diesel engine vehicles. Parking lights will stay on as long as engine is running. , 8 min. or 18 min. depending on TRIGGER INPUT Your remote starter is equipped with a negative trigger (pulse) input. This input can be connected to another remote control device or to an AstroStart RTS-2 timer output (optional), part no. 310-903-502.
OTHER COMMANDS (MODELS RS-613 ONLY) LOW TEMPERATURE MODE In Low Temperature (Sentinel) mode, system starts your engine at 2½ hour intervals, for the duration that was set during previous usage. .

The command cannot be executed if ignition key is in RUN position. In this case, parking lights flash once to confirm that command has been received but could not be excuted. If you are not sure you have received confirmation, repeat command.
CODE LEARNING OF ADDITIONAL TRANSMITTER(S) Four different remote controls can be programmed for a given vehicle. If a fifth remote is added, the first remote is deleted. Note: When the first code learning command is sent, all the old codes are cleared out. Therefore if you want to add a new remote, all the old ones must be reprogrammed as well. One or more remote transmitters can be added. To do this, programming is accessed as follows: Open hood. Insert key in the ignition and turn to the RUN position.
