NOTE: Use the following test procedure upon completion of every remote
start regardless of the make and model of the vehicle.
Test Procedure
I
CAUTION
: Be sure there is at least 5 feet of unobstructed clearance
at the front and rear of the vehicle. Make sure to alert anyone near
the vehicle you are testing that the vehicle may move forward
slightly.
1. Apply the parking brake.
2 . Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position and place the vehicle in
"DRIVE."
3. Turn the ignition as close to the "OFF" position as possible. (Most vehicles
will not allow the key to turn off completely.)
4. Place your foot over the brake pedal without touching it. Be prepared to
step on the brake if the starter engages.
5. Activate the remote engine starter.
6. If the vehicle starter engages, immediately press the brake pedal to
disengage (shut down) the remote start. You have a "combined" type
neutral safety switch and you will have to add an additional relay as
shown in the diagram.
7 . If the vehicle starter does not engage, no additional relays are required.
All vehicles have a "key in the ignition" reminder circuit (key minder) that will
sound a chime or buzzer while the key is in the ignition and the driver’s door
is open. The following diagrams will illustrate how to interface the key-minder
wires and a relay to prevent the vehicle from remote starting while the key is
in the ignition.
The wire color codes are subject to change. Check all wires with a
volt/ohmmeter. If you have any questions, please contact the Avital
Technical Support Department.
