Remote Engine Start - Safety and Counter-Theft
I
CAUTION : Be sure to read the "WARNING" bulletin on the inside
cover of this manual before attempting to operate remote start.
Automatic Safety and Counter-Theft Features
Before remote starting your engine, the AviStart system will automatically
perform a safety check to ensure the following conditions have been met:
• Brake pedal is not depressed.
• Engine and ignition are turned off.
• Hood is closed.
After remote starting your engine, the AviStart system will shut off the engine
immediately if the ignition is OFF and any of the following occurs:
• The hood is opened.
• The engine RPM rises above preset level.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
• The remote control START button is pressed.
• The 20 or 30 minute programmable run time expired.
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.
