Visual Fault Indication
The AviStart has a built-in fault detection system that automatically scans all of
the safety zones, prevents the system from remote starting and provides a
visual indication if a fault is detected. The parking lights will flash 1 time if the
hood is opened or if the brake pedal is depressed and will not allow the
engine to start. If this occurs, bring your vehicle to your authorized Avital
dealer for service.
Remote Engine Start - Operation
Your AviStart system will start your vehicle engine with a touch of a button on
your AviGlo™ remote control. To 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.
We strongly recommend that you arm the alarm system at all times, especially
if you are going to remote start the vehicle.
To Remote Start the Engine:
1. Press the remote control START button for 1-2 seconds, 10-15 minutes
before you enter your vehicle (this will allow the climate control time to
heat or cool the interior.) 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. Five seconds after the engine starts, the doors will
automatically lock. If you do not want the doors to automatically lock
upon remote start, this feature (Security Start Locks™) can be programmed
OFF. (See the "Programming Table for Systems Features" on page 15.)
If you have a diesel engine, the AviStart will be programmed to start 15
seconds after the parking lights flash 2 times. This will allow time for the
glow plugs to heat up. The alarm system will remain armed.
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 15.)
