Mandatory RPM Programming
In order to remote start the vehicle engine and prevent over-grinding of the
starter motor, the engine RPM must be programmed into the system memory.
The AviStart has a built-in piezo beeper for audible programming confirmation.
1. Start the engine with the ignition key. Let the engine warm up until it

reaches a normal idle RPM (typically 700-900 RPM).

2. Turn the ignition key off.
3. Start the engine with the ignition key.
4. Within 10 seconds of starting the vehicle, begin flicking the valet switch

on then off 12 times (counting the piezo beeps).
NOTE: Stop on the 12th beep. See the "Programming Table for System
Features" on page 21.

5. Press and hold the remote START button.
6. The parking lights will flash two times to confirm the RPMs have been

memorized.

7. Release the START button.
