1 THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AN ASTROSTART REMOTE CAR STARTER! Like you, Astroflex is concerned with the environment. This is why we suggest using the two-minute runtime when you remote start your vehicle to warm up engine fluids.
2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before using this product, carefully read the following safet y precautions. GENERAL RULES • Never perform a remote start when a person or animal is inside the vehicle. • Do not allow any person or animal to remain inside the vehicle when the engine is running under remote starter control (continuous mode).
3 SAFETY SEQUENCE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES Your remote starter was designed to force y ou to perform a series of actions that will ensure that the gearshift lever is in neutral position when you exit the vehicle.
4 THE REMOTE CONTROL A maximum of four remote controls can be assigned to your vehicle. See your dealer fo r addit ional remote controls. NOTE : The range of your remote control can be affect ed by w eak batteries, interference from nearby metal structures, hydro poles, or cr owded parking lots.
5 R EPLACING THE BATTERY When the sound becomes low-piched on a audio conf irmation this means that the batteries need to be replaced. The remote control requires two 3-volt lithium batteries (CR-2430 or equivalent). We strongly recommend keeping a set of r eplacement batteries in your glove compartment.
