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 s 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 or after the vehicle glow plug
light has turned off. 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.)
To Operate the Vehicle While Remote Started:
1. If the alarm system is armed, press the remote A button for 1-2 seconds.
The alarm will disarm and the doors will unlock.
2. Enter the vehicle (do not touch the brake pedal), turn the ignition key to
the "ON" position and then press the brake pedal. Pressing the brake pedal
will shut off the remote start and parking lights but the engine will remain
running.
3. You can now drive the vehicle.
