Remote Engine Starting
How to Remotely Start the Engine
Remote control button II (channel 2) will remotely start (or shut down) the engine:
1. With the remote control microswitch in the up position, press and hold button II
(channel 2) until you see your vehicle’s parking lights flash twice. (NOTE: A single
flash indicates a fault condition, e.g., the transmission is not in “PARK”).
2. Once the engine starts, the parking lights will be on for as long as the engine is
running.
3. If the engine starts and then stalls, the system will automatically make up to two
more attempts to start the vehicle.
4. The engine and all preset accessories (heater, defroster, air conditioner, etc.) will
run for up to 20 minutes. If you do not enter and drive the vehicle within 20
minutes, your AvantGuard II will automatically shut down the engine. If you wish,
you can shut down the engine, or restart it, by pressing again on button II (channel
2) of the remote control.
Driving the Vehicle After Remote Starting
1. Insert the ignition key and turn the switch to the “ON” position. (Don’t worry if
you turn the switch all the way to “START,” the system’s StarterGuard™ feature
will prevent the starter from grinding while the engine is running under the
control of your AvantGuard II.)
2. Press the brake pedal and/or shift the transmission out of “PARK.”
3. The AvantGuard II is now disengaged and your vehicle will operate as usual.
NOTE: For security reasons, if you press the brake pedal or shift the trans-
mission out of “PARK” BEFORE you turn the ignition on, the AvantGuard II will
immediately shut down the engine.
The AutoStart™ Feature
Whenever you wish, you can set your AvantGuard II to automatically start the
engine if the vehicle battery voltage drops too low. This is especially valuable when
you need to leave the vehicle parked for an extended period of time, particularly in
cold weather. The AvantGuard II will automatically shut down the engine once the
battery is properly charged or after 30 minutes, whichever occurs first. If need be,
this process will automatically repeat every eight hours until the battery is properly
charged. Your car is safe and sound since it can’t be driven by an intruder even while
the engine is running.
For the utmost in user-friendliness, you don’t have to do a thing to turn off the
AutoStart feature. AutoStart is automatically canceled whenever you start the
engine with either your remote control or ignition key (or if a fault is detected).
