USER TIPS AND NOTES

The Remote Car Starter must be “enabled” each time the driver has finished driving and taken out

the key in order for the unit to start the vehicle remotely

.          After the key has been removed, you must turn

OFF the  control switch and then turn it back ON again while no key is in the ignition.  This “control switch” or “set

switch” prevents unauthorized starting of the car by someone unfamiliar with the system who may be using the

vehicle.  If you forget to set the switch, it may also be activated by pushing the transmitter and holding the button

down for ten seconds. T

o eliminate the need for this, see 

Option #7

.

The AutoCommand

®

 Remote Car Starter will turn the car off if the driver does not insert and turn the key within 10

or 15 minutes.   

After the 

AutoCommand

®

 Remote Car Starter has started your car

, simply put in the key and turn it

to the “run” or “on” ignition position (not the crank position) to drive away

.

The AutoCommand

®

 Remote Car Starter has numerous safety and security features that make it difficult to steal

your car without the key being in the ignition.  Putting your car in gear

, tapping the brake pedal or opening the hood

will turn the unit off unless your key is in the ignition and turned to the “run” or “on” position.

If all features are hooked up, your transmitter will function as follows:

Button 1:

Do not push for your first ‘main’ vehicle

Once:

 T

o operate vehicle #2 - then any of the 4 buttons (LED flashes red

and green)

Again:

 For vehicle #3 - then any of the 4 buttons (LED flashes red)

Again:

 For vehicle #4 - then any of the 4 buttons (LED flashes green)

Button 2:

Once:

 Start the car with all accessories left on

Again:

 Stop the car

Button 3:

Once:

 T

urn on headlights for 30 seconds

Again:

 T

urn off headlights

Hold down for 4 seconds for P

ANIC mode (45 seconds long)

Button 4:

Lock the doors / arm the alarm

Button 5:

Unlock the doors / disarm alarm (if you get 4 chirps – that means the

alarm was triggered while you were away)

Hold down for 4 seconds

 for T

runk

The LED on the transmitter will display 3 different colors - Red for button #2, 

Yellow for button #3, and Green for

buttons #4 and #5.  The transmitter is powered by a long life lithium battery (CR 2032 or DesignT

ech catalog

#20059).  The transmitter and receiver module are FCC and DOC approved.

Alarm Disarm without transmitter:

          If the doors are locked and the alarm is set and you’ve lost your transmitter

,

you can disable the alarm.  Here is how:  Enter the vehicle (alarm will sound) and insert the key and turn it to the

‘run’

 position (the position where the dash lights come on).  T

urn the On/Off switch off and on 4 times in a row to

disable the alarm.

Valet Mode:

          T

urning the Control switch off puts you in V

alet Mode. In V

alet Mode the Remote Car Starter and the

alarm will not function. This lets you turn off the car starter when having the vehicle serviced. The only functions

that work in V

alet Mode are the keyless entry

, lights and panic. The red LED dash light will flash twice every few

seconds when in V

alet Mode.

The Quick Stop Option

:

   

You can leave the car running and take the key with you for a quick visit to a store.

W

ith the car running, push the Start button on the keychain transmitter just before pulling out the key

. The car will

run for 10 minutes or until you tap the brake or put the car in gear

.

The Cold Start Option

:

 This automatically starts and runs the car for the preset run time (10 or 15 minutes) if

the temperature drops below 0

°F or if the battery voltage drops below 1

1 volts. T

apping the brake at any time after

programming disables this feature. Here is how to set this feature: Hold the Start button down while the vehicle

starts, runs, turns off and the lights begin to flash 5 times. Release the transmitter button. 

You have set the Cold

Start Option™.
