 Remote Car Starter. AutoCommand

®

 Remote Car Starter 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

®

 is for automatic transmission / fuel injected gasoline vehicles only. Please see pages 6-7 for important information about vehicles with

factory anti-theft systems. AutoCommand

®

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

AutoCommand

 Remote Car Starter:

• Shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (pro-

grammable)  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.

• Is quality engineered, microprocessor controlled, and made

in the USA to provide many years of reliable use.

• Comes with a Limited 2-Year Warranty.

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

or air conditioner to warm up or cool down the car.

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

hood is closed.

• 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.

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