Reverse Light : Some vehicles allow you to remove the gear shift selector from "Park" even while the ignition key is not on. As a safety I CAUTION feature, the system will monitor the reverse wire. If the vehicle is removed from "Park" while in the remote start mode, the system will shut down immediately. 1 . Set the parking brake. 2 . Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position and adjust the gear shift selector to "Reverse." 3 .
System #1 This type of system has a designated alarm arm wire that requires a (-) pulse to arm the alarm 1. Use a volt/ohmmeter to find the factory arm wire that will show (-) ground while the driver door key cylinder is turned to the "LOCK" position. If you are interfacing with the vehicle power door locks, use the diagram at right. If not, proceed to step #2. 2. If you are not interfacing with the vehicle power door locks, connect the AviStart BLUE/WHITE wire to the vehicle arm wire.
Ignition #1 Ignition #2 The AviStart module has two onboard 30-amp relays. Most vehicles have only one ignition wire necessary to start the vehicle. Some vehicles have two ignition wires. Make all wire connections at the ignition switch wire harness. 1 . Use a voltmeter to locate the wire(s) that show +12 volts while the ignition key is in the "ON," "CRANK" and "RUN" positions and 0 volts when the ignition key is in the "OFF" position. 2 . Connect the 14 ga PINK wires to the vehicle ignition wire. 3.
Remote Engine Start Neutral Safety Switch Bulletin A neutral safety switch is a mechanism on almost every vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. The neutral safety switch prevents the vehicle from starting while the gear shift selector is in "Reverse" or "Forward" gear positions. There are basically two types of neutral safety switches. The most common is the mechanical (separate) neutral safety switch. A small group of vehicles use a combined neutral safety switch.
NOTE: Use the following test procedure upon completion of every remote start regardless of the make and model of the vehicle. Test Procedure Be sure there is at least 5 feet of unobstructed clearance at the front and rear of the vehicle. Make sure to alert anyone near I CAUTION: the vehicle you are testing that the vehicle may move forward slightly. 1. Apply the parking brake. 2 . Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position and place the vehicle in "DRIVE." 3.

Tach Wire (RPM Monitoring) The AviStart is designed to monitor the vehicle RPM by connecting directly to the vehicle tachometer wire which is usually located at the distributor, ignition coil or diagnostic plug. On most vehicles, the tach wire is easily accessible. If the tach wire is not accessible, there are several alternative choices. Contact Avital Technical Support Department for alternate choices.
Power and Ground Connections : Do not plug in the system fuses until the final step below. I CAUTION 1 . Connect the 18 ga RED wire to one end of a supplied 20 amp fuse assembly. 2. If the vehicle parking lights are positive trigger, connect the RED/WHITE wire to one end of the other supplied 20 amp fuse assembly. 3. Connect the BLACK wire to the 10 mm ring terminal. 4. Connect the 10 ga RED wire to one end of both 30-amp fuse assemblies. 5.
