P.2 http://www.autostart.ca Quick Installation Guide
Note: If upon pressing the START button the parking lights give 3 slow flashes, make sure that the Orange
handbrake wire is not connected, the hand brake is not engaged and that the yellow loop is cut and
isolated/taped.
DIESEL VEHICLE WARNING: The G-Plug wire must not be connected when the brake is detected through
D2D.
PUSH-TO-START
Disabled by default, PTS mode is a special feature that is intended to facilitate the remote starter installation on
most Push-To-Start vehicles. With PTS mode enabled, the remote starter will offer the installer a negative start
output (to pulse the vehicle’s PTS switch), as well as a (+) brake switch output (no external relay necessary).
With PTS enabled, the White/Green wire on the 12-pin harness becomes your negative (-) PTS switch output. It
will give a one second output intended to pulse the PTS switch. Also, the Purple crank output becomes your
brake switch output (this will turn the brake circuit ON for crank).
NEW FEATURE – PTS takeover
Without the PTS takeover, pressing the brake pedal after remote starting shuts down the engine (to prevent
theft). Here are the new steps for this new Takeover mode:
Regular PTS takeover from Remote start:
1. Remote start the engine.
2. Press
and enter the vehicle.
3. Within the time limit (1.5 min or 3 min), press the brake pedal.
PTS takeover from Idle mode:
1. With the engine running, press
, or to engage Idle mode.
2. Exit the vehicle; engine runs without the key.
3. IMPORTANT: After exiting the vehicle, press . (Note: No door detection.)
4. Press
and enter the vehicle.
5. Within the time limit (1.5 min or 3 min), press the brake pedal.
NEW FEATURE – HYBRID OPTION
Warning: For automatic transmissions only.
This option is disabled by default. It can be enabled in Mode 4 of the programming options.
HYBRID mode is a special feature that is intended to facilitate the remote starter installation on most Hybrid
vehicles. With HYBRID mode enabled, the remote starter will give a four second crank output on its crank wire
(It will not rely on VTS to stop the crank cycle). The only way to shorten the four second crank output is to
program a tach signal to the remote starter. If a tach signal is programmed, the remote starter will act like
normal (the HYBRID feature should be used when a tach reference is not available from the vehicle or the
bypass being used at the time of installation).
