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 push
the control switch OFF (LED turns Green) and then push it back ON (LED turns Red) again while no key is in the
ignition. The LED will glow RED to signify that the system is ready for remote starting. 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 (Setting Program Features)
.
The AutoCommand
®
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
AutoCommand
®
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), push the brake pedal and drive away
.
The AutoCommand
®
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
, pushing 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:

Once:
Tu
rn
o
n h
eadlights for 30 seconds

A
NIC mode (45 seconds long)
The LED on the transmitter will display 3 different colors - Red for the
start button and
Yellow for the
lights button. The transmitter is powered by a long life lithium battery (CR 2032 style). The transmitter and
receiver are FCC and DOC approved.
Valet Mode:
Pushing the Control switch off (LED turns Green) 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. Simply push the Control switch once
again (LED turns Red) to exit V
alet Mode.
The Quick Stop Option
™
:
Yo
u 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 (make sure the brake pedal is not pushed).
The car will run for 10 minutes or until you tap the brake or put the car in gear
.
