Congratulations on your purchase of the AutoCommand® Remote Car Starter. This
Remote Car Starter system allows you to start the car by remote control from the
comfort of your home or office in order to cool it down in the summer or heat it up in
the winter.
This Remote Car Starter system is for
automatic transmission cars only. It is an
extremely sophisticated system with multiple built-in safety and security features.
The DesignTech Remote Car Starter:
• Will start your car by remote control, and run the heater, defroster, or air condi-
tioner to warm up or cool down the car.
• Is designed to start the car if it is in park, and only if the hood is closed.
• Will attempt to start the car for up to six seconds, but no longer (to avoid damage
to the starter motor). Should the car not start, or if it stalls after starting, the
remote car starter will make two further attempts to start it.
• Keeps the headlights on to let you know the car is running, and has the ability to
use your transmitter to light your way when walking to the car at night.
• Will not let the car be driven without the key in the ignition.
• Shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (you choose the run time -
consult your installer) if you are delayed coming to your car (20/30 min for deisels).
• Will shut off if the brake pedal is pushed, the hood is opened, or the transmission
is shifted out of park - unless the key is in the ignition and in the “run” position.
• The QUICK STOP
tm
option using the transmitter will allow you to remove the key
while leaving the car running with the doors locked for either 10 or 15 minutes.
• The COLD START OPTION
tm
using the transmitter starts the car automatically
should the temperature drop below either 0’F (-18’C) or if the battery voltage
drops below 11 volts.
• Lock and Unlock the doors and open the trunk as well as control security alarm
features with the transmitter.
• Comes with a built-in starter kill relay to prevent vehicle theft.
•· Comes with a plug-in Flashing status LED.
• DAILY START
tm
feature allows you to have the vehicle automatically start up at
the same time 24 hours later. Great if you go to or leave from work at the same
time each day.
• Using the built-in DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS feature you can automatically
turn on your lights 10 seconds after the key is turned to the ignition position or the
brake is depressed.
• Is quality engineered, microprocessor controlled, and made in the USA to provide
many years of reliable use.
