Autostart AS-1785 SH Remote Starter User Manual


 
User Guide AS-1785 SH P. 9
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.
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 4 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, 4 minutes).
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 + STOP:..........................................STOP
Press TRUNK + LOCK + UNLOCK:.........................AUX 3 (TRUNK)

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.
