PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING

Congratulations on your purchase of the AutoCommand

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

(programmable) 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 and microprocessor controlled to

provide many years of reliable use.

• Comes with a Limited Lifetime 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.
