AS-1414/AS-1424 User Guide P. 3
Remote-starting Your Vehicle
Press the START/STOP button for approx. 1 second. The parking lights will come ON, informing
you that the unit has received your signal. Approx. 5 seconds later, the engine will start. The
parking lights will remain
ON during the pre-programmed run time.
If the vehicle doesn’t start the first time, the system will shut down, wait a few seconds, and
try to start the engine again. It will try to start the engine 3 times before giving up.
Vehicle Presets
Heater and 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 and 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 the remote
starter shuts down, resulting in a dead battery.
Driving Off
With the vehicle running under remote control, press the UNLOCK button to DISARM and UNLOCK
the doors (if installed). Enter the vehicle and do the following:
x Turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
x Press the brakes to disengage the remote starter unit.
You are now ready to drive off.
Caution: do not turn the key to the CRANK position with the engine running. This will cause
the starter motor to re-engage, unless your vehicle is equipped with the Start Kill / Anti-
Grind Feature (Optional).
Idle Mode
This feature allows the user to engage the remote starter to take over the vehicle while it is
already running with the key in the
IGNITION switch. The vehicle will keep running for the pre-
programmed run time, or until it is shut down by remote.
Caution: Do not leave children or pets unattended in a car running in Idle Mode.
To activate Idle Mode:
To enable Idle Mode, press and hold the
LOCK, UNLOCK or START/STOP button on your remote
transmitter while the engine is running.
Note: When enabling Idle Mode, pressing
LOCK or UNLOCK will automatically unlock the
doors.
The parking lights will come
ON. Remove the key, exit the vehicle and lock the doors (if
desired). The engine will continue running and will turn itself
OFF when the pre-programmed
run time expires.
Valet Mode
Ignition Valet
The system can be placed in Valet Mode to disable the remote starting capabilities. If the
vehicle needs to be serviced, or if you park it indoors, Valet Mode will prevent the engine
from being accidentally started by remote control.
