AviStart 4000 Installation Manual - 8/98 Rev.B

NOTE: Use the following test procedure upon completion of every

remote start regardless of the make and model of the vehicle.

Test Procedure

I

CAUTION

: 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 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. Turn the ignition as close to the "OFF" position as possible. (Most

vehicles will not allow the key to turn off completely.)

4. Place your foot over the brake pedal without touching it. Be prepared

to step on the brake if the starter engages.

5. Activate the remote engine starter.
6.  If the vehicle starter engages, immediately press the brake pedal to

disengage (shut down) the remote start. You have a 

combined

 type

neutral safety switch and you will have to add an additional relay as

shown in the diagram.

7. If the vehicle starter does not engage, no additional relays are required. 

All vehicles have a "key in the ignition" reminder circuit (key minder) that

will sound a chime or buzzer while the key is in the ignition and the

driver’s door is open. The following diagrams will illustrate how to

interface the key-minder wires and a relay to prevent the vehicle from

remote starting while the key is in the ignition.
The wire color codes are subject to change. Check all wires with a

volt/ohmmeter. If you have any questions, please contact the Avital

Technical Support Department.
