PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING

Congratulations on your purchase of the AutoCommand

®

 Professional Series Remote Car Starter.  The AutoCommand

®

 Professional Series Remote Car Starter system allows you

to start the car by remote control from the comfort of your home or office in order to cool it down in the summer or heat it up in the winter.

AutoCommand

®

 Professional Series is for 

automatic transmission/fuel injected vehicles only

. It is an extremely sophisticated system with multiple built-in safety and

security features.

AutoCommand

®

 Professional Series Car Starter:

• Will start your car by remote control, and run the heater, defroster, or

air conditioner to warm up or cool down the car from up to 1,000 feet
away.

• Is designed to start the car only if it is in park, and only if the hood is

closed.

•  Has Lock, Unlock and Trunk keyless entry features.

• Will attempt to start the car for up to six seconds, but no longer (to

avoid damage to the starter motor). Should the car not start, or if it
stalls after starting, the remote starter will make two further attempts
to start it.

•  Has alarm functions including starter kill which becomes active when

the doors are locked with the remote control.

• Will not let the car be driven without the key in the ignition.

• Shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (programmable)  if

you forget to come out to your car.

• Will shut off if the brake pedal is pushed, the hood is opened, or the

transmission is shifted out of park - unless the key is in the ignition and
in the “run” position.

• Allows you to remove the key while leaving the car running with the

doors locked for up to 10 or 15 minutes by utilizing the Quick Stop™
Option. (See Separate User Tip Sheet.)

• Starts the car automatically whenever the temperature drops below

0

°

F (-18

°

C), or if the battery voltage drops below 11 volts when the

Cold Start™ Option is used. (See Separate User Tip Sheet.)

• Has the “Daily Start™” feature which allows the vehicle to be started

at the same time the following day. (See Separate User Tip Sheet)

• Is quality engineered, microprocessor controlled, and made in the USA

to provide many years of reliable use.

• Comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
