Remote Engine Start - Operation
Your AviStart system will start your vehicle engine with a touch of a button on
your AviGlo™ remote control. To also cool or warm the interior of your
vehicle before you enter, set the climate control to your preference (heater,
defrost or air conditioning)
before remote starting
. Set the fan to a medium
speed
(not maximum)
. Ensure the vehicle is in "Park" and the key is
not
in the
ignition.
To Remote Start the Engine:
1 . Press the remote control
s
button for 1-2 seconds, 10-15 minutes before
you enter the vehicle (this will allow the climate control time to heat or
cool the vehicle.) The parking lights will flash 2 times, the engine will start
and the parking lights will remain on as a visual indication that the engine
is running. AviStart will automatically lock the doors when the engine is
remote started. If you have a diesel engine, the AviStart will be
programmed to start 15 seconds after the parking lights flash 2 times or
immediately after the vehicle glow plug light has turned off. This will
allow time for the glow plugs to heat up.
2. If the engine does not remote start, the AviStart system will attempt to start
the engine two additional times.
3 . If the vehicle is left unattended, the engine will run for 20 minutes and
then shut off automatically. You can also program the system to run the
engine for 30 minutes. (See the "Programming Table for System Features"
on page 11.)

D

the "ON" position and then press the brake pedal. Pressing the brake pedal
will shut off the remote start and parking lights but the engine will remain
running.
3 . You can now drive the vehicle.
To Shut Off Remote Start:
At any time while the engine is remote started, you can shut the engine off
