COMMANDS
START OR STOP (1A)
This is the most common command. To start the engine by
remote, enter 1A (horn: 0, parking lights: 1). The AstroStart™
automatically adjusts the cranking cycle to match your
vehicle requirements. Proper operation is acknowledged by
(horn: 0, parking lights: 2).
TO STOP
the engine, enter same sequence again (1 A).
START WITH A HORN ACKNOWLEDGMENT (2 A)
This command is used when you can not see the vehicle, the
vehicle horn will sound when the engine has been
successfully started. Enter 2 A, the system will confirm
receiving the command (horn: 1 parking lights: 1). The
AstroStart™ will start the engine. To confirm that the engine
is running, another acknowledgment signal follows (horn: 2,
parking lights: 2).
START WITH REAR DEFROSTER (3A)
This command is used to activate the rear window defroster
when starting by remote. Enter 3A (horn: 0, parking lights: 1,
siren: 0,).The AstroStart™ will start the engine and will

option is connected).
ENGINE RUN TIME
The engine will shut off automatically after the chosen run
time has expired. The parking lights will remain lit while the
engine is running by remote.
Note
: Run time is programmable (the factory preset is 15
minutes). See the User Programming section.
WHEN YOU GET IN YOUR VEHICLE...
When entering your vehicle, do not touch brake pedal (this
will shut the engine off). Turn the ignition key to the RUN
position. Drive away as usual AstroStart™ will shut OFF by
itself. The optional starter kill connection (see your dealer)
prevents accidental starter grinding if key turned to
START
position while the engine is already running by remote
control.

does not start after several attempts the system will shut off
and wait for the next command.
