USER TIPS AND NOTES
The Remote Car Starter must be “enabled” each time the driver has finished driving and
taken out the key in order for the unit to start the vehicle remotely
. After the key has been
removed, you must turn OFF the control switch and then turn it back ON again while no key is in the
ignition. This “control switch” or “set switch” prevents unauthorized starting of the car by someone
unfamiliar with the system who may be using the vehicle. If you forget to set the switch, it may also be
activated by pushing the transmitter and holding the button down for ten seconds. T
o eliminate the need
for this, see
Option #7
.
The AutoCommand
®
Professional Series Remote Car Starter will turn the car off if the driver does not
insert and turn the key within 10 or 15 minutes.
After the remote car starter has started your car
, simply
put in the key and turn it to the “run” or “on” ignition position (not the crank position) to drive away
.
The AutoCommand
®
Professional Series Remote Car Starter has numerous safety and security features
that make it difficult to steal your car without the key being in the ignition. Putting your car in gear
,
tapping the brake pedal or opening the hood will turn the unit off unless your key is in the ignition and
turned to the “run” or “on” position.
If all features are hooked up, your transmitter will function as follows:
Button 1:
Pressed Once: Lock the door / arm the alarm
Pressed Again: Unlock doors / disarm the alarm
Hold down for 4 seconds for Panic
Button 2:
Once: Start the car with all accessories left on
Again: Stop the car
Button 3:
Once: T
urn on the headlights for 30 seconds
Again: T
urn off the headlights
Hold down for 4 seconds to open the T
runk.
The LED light on the transmitter will display 3 different colors – Green for Button #1, Red for Button #2,
and
Yellow for Button #3. The transmitter is powered by a long life lithium battery (CR 2032 or DesignT
ech
catalog # 20059). The transmitter and the remote starter receiver module are FCC and DOC approved.
Alarm Disarm without transmitter:
If the doors are locked and the alarm is set and you’ve lost your
transmitter
, you can disable the alarm. Here is how: Enter the vehicle (alarm will sound) and insert the
key and turn it to the ‘run’
position (the position where the dash lights come on). T
urn the On/Off switch
off and on 4 times in a row to disable the alarm.
Valet Mode:
T
urning the Control switch off puts you in V
alet Mode. In V
alet Mode the Remote Car
Starter and the alarm will not function. This lets you turn off the car starter when having the vehicle
serviced. The only functions that work in V
alet Mode are the keyless entry
, lights and panic. The red LED
dash light will flash twice every few seconds when in V
alet Mode.
The Quick Stop Option
™
:
You can leave the car running and take the key with you for a quick visit to
a store. With the car running, push the Start button on the keychain transmitter just before pulling out the
key
. The car will run for 10 minutes or until you tap the brake or put the car in gear
.
The Cold Start Option
™
:
This automatically starts and runs the car for the preset run time (10 or 15
minutes) if the temperature drops below 0
°
F or if the battery voltage drops below 1
1 volts. T
apping the
brake at any time after programming disables this feature. Here is how to set this feature: Hold the Start
button down while the vehicle starts, runs, turns off and the lights begin to flash 5 times. Release the
transmitter button.
You have set the Cold Start Option™.
