The system is packed with advanced features such as priority access to the driver’s door (commodity features) and the Safe Start children safety feature. With many an advanced function, this product will satisfy any one your expectations from high-end commodity and security systems, without neglecting any standard feature commonly offered by entry-level starters.
User Guide P. 3 Using the Remote Control Your Remote Car Starter is equipped with a 5-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate two independent vehicles equipped with a Remote Car Starter (see Multi-Car Operation section, later in this Guide, for second-car transmitter functions). The functions of the transmitter are as follows: 2nd generation transmitters (ASRA-2501): Picture serves as example only N.B.: Pressing the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously will activate the AUX 2 output. 1st generation transmitters: LOCK: Locks the doors and arms the STARTER KILL. TRUNK: Opens the TRUNK or activates the AUX 3 output STOP: Stops the engine if pressed for less than 3 seconds or triggers Panic mode if pressed for more than 3 seconds. UNLOCK: Unlocks the doors and disarms the STARTER KILL. Activates the AUX 1 output if priority door access is configured. START: Remote starts the engine or gets the system into Cold Weather mode if pressed for 3 seconds.
P. 4 User Guide Vehicle Presets Heater & Heated Seat When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as heated seats (if equipped) should not be left on HIGH. It is recommended to leave the settings on LOW or MEDIUM instead. Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wiper and / or headlight circuits to become energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the windshield wiper and headlight switches are OFF. Leaving the headlight switch ON on certain types of vehicles could cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead battery. Arming the Starter Kill The Starter Kill (if installed) can be configured by the installer so as to arm automatically (Passive Mode) or not to arm automatically (Active Mode). • To disarm the Starter Kill, press the UNLOCK button on the transmitter. The parking lights will flash twice. If remote door locks are installed, this will also unlock the doors. • To arm the Starter Kill, press the LOCK button on the transmitter. The parking lights will flash once. If remote door locks are installed, this will also lock the doors. • In Passive Mode, the Starter Kill will automatically arm if the ignition key is not inserted Into the ignition switch within 1 or 3 minutes after unlocking (the key sense feature must be installed). Remote-Starting Your Vehicle Remote-starting Press the START button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON to inform you that the Remote Car Starter has received your signal. Approximately 5 seconds later, the engine will start. The parking lights will remain ON during the pre-programmed run time of the engine. If the vehicle does not start at the first attempt, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds and try to start the engine again. There will be 3 start attempts before the system gives up. Driving Off With the vehicle running under remote control, press the UNLOCK button to disarm and unlock the doors. Enter the vehicle and do the following: • Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position. (Do not turn the key to the CRANK position while the engine is running. This would cause the starter motor to re-engage.) • Press the brake pedal to disengage the remote starter unit. You are now ready to drive off.
User Guide P. 5 Remote Starter Features Idle Mode Convenience feature: Idle Mode allows you to keep the engine running and the doors locked while you stop, for example, at a convenience store or for a short delivery. This feature allows you to let the remote starter take over control of the vehicle (i.e. no Key in the Ignition Switch) while the engine is running. For example, if you stop for a delivery or at a conveni-ence store, lock your vehicle and leave it running for the length of a run cycle while you are away. To leave the vehicle in Idle Mode: 1. With the engine running, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button (to unlock the doors) or the START button on the remote control until the parking lights come on. 2. Remove the key and exit the vehicle. The engine will go on running. 3. Lock the doors if needed. The engine will go on running until the user re-enters the vehicle or until the expiration of the Engine Run Time. Caution!!! Do not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle standing in Idle Mode. Valet Mode When your vehicle is in Valet Mode, the remote starter functionalities are disabled. If the vehicle needs to be serviced, or if you park it indoors, the Valet Mode will prevent the engine from being remote-started accidentally. Ignition Valet This feature will allow you to remotely put your system into Valet Mode by using the ignition key instead of the Valet button as above.

Panic Mode will automatically shut down after 25 sec. Note: To stop Panic Mode before the end of its delay, press the LOCK or UNLOCK button until the sound signal stops. Quick LockoutTM (Also called Secure Panic.) For fast protection in emergency situations, the system will LOCK all doors when you press the brake pedal while you hear the sound signal. (Quick Lockout is only available when Panic Mode has been set off.) Cold Weather Mode When Cold Weather Mode is active, the engine starts every 2 hours and runs for 3 minutes (or for 8 or 20 minutes with diesel engines). Cold Weather Mode automatically ends after 24 hours. To enter Cold Weather Mode: • Press and hold the START button for 3 seconds ... until the parking lights flash three times.

Extended Run Time With the vehicle running under a remote start, pressing and holding the START button for more than 1 second will reset the run time counter to zero and restart the run time cycle from the beginning.
User Guide P. 7 To stop the vehicle, at any moment, simply press the STOP button. This procedure can only be carried out once per remote start. Example: if your Module is programmed for a run time of 3 minutes and your vehicle has been running for 3 minutes already, pressing the START button will reset the counter to zero and the Engine will run for another cycle (in this case, 3 minutes). Advanced Features: Installation-programmable Options The Remote Car Starter was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. With its programmable options, this unit can single-handedly control nearly any electrical system in your vehicle. Caution: The programming of your system should be left to a professional. Changing any one of the settings may affect the operation of your Remote Car Starter. Remote Door Locks If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Remote Door Locks option, you will have the convenience of remote keyless entry. See section Arming the Starter Kill, earlier in this Guide, for further instructions on remote door locking and unlocking. Priority Door Access If the Remote Door Locks option is installed on your vehicle, this safety feature allows you unlock solely the driver’s door with a single press of the UNLOCK button on the transmitter; upon a second press of the UNLOCK button, all the other doors will unlock. Ignition-controlled Door Locks This is an added security feature. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Ignition-Controlled Door Locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the OFF position, the doors will automatically be unlocked. Ignition Re-lock On Remote Car Starters of this series, when Ignition-controlled Door Locks are enabled and the ignition key is in the IGNITION ON (RUN) position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors will be relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed. Secure Lock (Disabled by default.) Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the Remote Car Starter must first disarm the factory security system. The Secure Lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory security systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed. To keep your vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start, Secure Lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle ends, Secure Lock will rearm your factory security system. Remote Trunk Release If your system was installed with the Remote Trunk Release option, you can open your trunk by pressing the TRUNK button for 3 seconds on the remote transmitter. The Starter Kill and the Anti-grind Feature With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition key when the Starter Kill is armed. If your Remote Car Starter was installed with the Starter Kill option, one will not be able to start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked and disarmed first, or put into Valet Mode.
P. 8 User Guide Note: If the Starter Kill is installed, your vehicle will benefit from a protection against starter motor damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force of habit, turn the ignition key to the CRANK position. Safe Start If this feature is enabled, the user must press the START button 2 times within 3 seconds to remote-start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing with the transmitter. If Swap Start Mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle press LOCK and UNLOCK simultaneously. The AUX 2 output can be activated by pressing the START button. Valet Modes Valet Mode Using the Valet Switch When your vehicle is in Valet Mode, the remote starter functionalities are disabled. If the vehicle needs to be serviced, or if you park it indoors, the Valet Mode will prevent the engine from being remote-started accidentally. To put the system i n t o Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position. 2. Within 3 sec., press the valet button. The parking lights will flash 3 times. 3. Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION OFF position.

Within 3 sec., press and release the valet button. The parking lights will flash twice and the L.E.D. will come OUT, indicating that the vehicle is now out of valet mode. Note: Once Valet Mode is activated, the remote starter will be disabled. “Home ValetTM” Mode If configured at installation, this feature will remotely set the vehicle to a no-remote-start mode: if the vehicle is parked indoors there is no danger of it starting accidentally by remote control. Note: Once the Home Valet Mode is activated, the vehicle will not start by remote. To take the system i n t o Home Valet Mode: • Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button. • Within 3 seconds, press the AUX button until the Parking Lights go out To take the system o u t o f Home Valet Mode: • Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position. The system will warn you if someone attempts to start your vehicle while it stands in Home Valet Mode. The parking lights will: • Go ON then OFF; then • Flash twice, pause; then • Flash twice again. Turbo Mode If Turbo Mode is configured at installation, it will allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the vehicle: the unit will take over the vehicle and keep it running for 60 seconds (or until it is shut down by remote control), then shut down the engine.
User Guide P. 9 Proceed as follows to set the system to Turbo Mode: 1. With the engine already running, press the LOCK button on the transmitter until the parking lights come ON. 2. Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. The engine will go on running. 3. Exit the vehicle and close the door. Press the TRUNK button to lock the doors; the engine will shut down after 60 seconds of Turbo Mode. Engine Run Time If you have a gas engine, your Remote Car Starter can be programmed to run the engine for 3, 15, or 25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the Remote Car Starter can be programmed to run the engine for 8, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default). Flashing LED The user may decide to turn on or off LED flashing at any moment. To do so, simultaneously press the TRUNK and LOCK buttons on the transmitter: • Flashing LED ON: the L.E.D. will flash under active arming to indicate that the Starter Kill is active. • Active Arming: the LED will flash normally. • Passive Arming: the LED will not flash during the countdown preceding the activation of the Starter Kill. Once the Remote Car Starter is armed, the LED will flash at a slower rate. • In Valet Mode: the LED will remain lit without flashing. • Flashing LED OFF: the LED will not flash even when the Remote Car Starter is armed (either under active or passive arming). Nevertheless, if the Remote Car Starter enters Valet Mode, the LED will still remain lit without flashing as long as the ignition is off. Horn Chirp Timing The pulse duration can be configured by your installer (from 5 ms to 200 ms). Multi-car Operation This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with the same Remote Car Starter model, to control both systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle, simultaneously press the TRUNK button and the button of the function you wish to use. Note: Your remote control must be configured for second car operation by the installer. • Press TRUNK + LOCK button simultaneously: ....LOCK • Press TRUNK + UNLOCK: .....................................UNLOCK • Press TRUNK + START:........................................START • Press TRUNK + STOP:..........................................STOP • Press TRUNK + START for 3 sec:.........................Cold Weather Mode
P. 10 User Guide Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are: • The condition of the battery in the transmitter. • The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular phone towers…) • Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car. • The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor range. • The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range. • The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space. • Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna. • The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory alarm.
