Avital AviStart 4500, Owner'S Manual

Remote Engine Start - Operation

Your AviStart system will start your vehicle engine with a touch of a button on

your AviGlo™ remote control. To also cool or warm the interior of your

vehicle before you enter, set the climate control to your preference (heater,

defrost or air conditioning) 

before remote starting

.  Set the fan to a medium

speed 

(not maximum)

. Ensure the vehicle is in "Park" and the key is 

not

 in the

ignition.

To Remote Start the Engine:

1. Press the remote control START button for 1-2 seconds, 10-15 minutes

before you enter the vehicle (this will allow the climate control time to

heat or cool the vehicle.) The parking lights will flash 2 times, the engine

will start and the parking lights will remain on as a visual indication that

the engine is running. AviStart will automatically lock the doors when the

engine is remote started.  If you have a diesel engine, the AviStart will be

programmed to start 15 seconds after the parking lights flash 2 times. This

will allow time for the glow plugs to heat up.

2. If the engine does not remote start, the AviStart system will attempt to start

the engine two additional times.

3. If the vehicle is left unattended, the engine will run for 20 minutes and then

shut off automatically. You can also program the system to run the engine  for 

30 minutes. (See the "Programming Table for System Features" on page 11.)

To Operate the Vehicle While Remote Started:

1. Press the remote control UNLOCK button for 1-2 seconds. The doors will

unlock.

2. Enter the vehicle (do not touch the brake pedal), turn the ignition key to the 

"ON" position and then press the brake pedal. Pressing the brake pedal will 

shut off the remote start and parking lights but the engine will remain

running.

3. You can now drive the vehicle.

To Shut Off Remote Start:

At any time while the engine is remote started, you can shut the engine off

with the remote control by pressing the remote control START button for 1-2

seconds. The engine and parking lights will shut off.
