Advanced Features: Installation-programmable Options The remote starter was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. With its program-mable options, this unit can single-handedly control nearly any electrical system in your vehicle. Caution: The programming of your system should be left to a professional. Changing any one of the settings may affect the operation of your remote starter. The installation-programmable options are as follows: Remote Door Locks Priority Door Access Passive or Active Arming Starter Kill / Anti-grind feature Horn Chirp Timing Safe Start Home Valet TM Ignition-controlled Door Locks Ignition Re-lock Secure Lock Turbo Mode Remote Trunk Release Engine Run Time Extended run time Multi-car Operation
P. 12 User Guide AS-2300TW Remote Door Locks If your remote starter was installed with the remote door locks option, you will have the convenience of remote keyless entry. See section Arming and Disarming the Remote Starter, on page 8, for further instructions on remote door locking and unlocking. Priority Door Access If the remote door locks option is installed on your vehicle, this safety feature allows you unlock solely the driver’s door with a single press of the UNLOCK button on the transmitter; upon a second press of the UNLOCK button, all the other doors will unlock. Active or Passive Arming The starter kill can be configured either to passive mode (so as to arm automatically) or active mode (so as to require user intervention for arming). By default, your remote starter is configured to passive mode. In passive mode, the starter kill will automatically arm 60 seconds after the last door is closed. The remote starter will not arm if a door is left open, or if you re-open a door within the 60-second delay. Important note: When the remote starter re-arms automatically, you can disarm the When the remote starter by simply pressing the UNLOCK button. The Starter Kill and the Anti-grind Feature With this added security feature, the system will prevent your vehicle from starting with the ignition key when the starter kill is armed. If your remote starter was installed with the starter kill option, one will not be able to start your vehicle with the key unless the system has been unlocked and disarmed first, or put into valet mode. Note: If the starter kill is installed, your vehicle will benefit from a protection against starter motor damage that could occur after remote-starting the engine should the user, by force of habit, turn the ignition key to the CRANK position. Flashing LED The user may decide to turn on or off LED flashing at any moment. To do so, simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter. There will be an initial beep. Keep holding the buttons pressed until you hear another beep. At that point release the buttons. The LED will toggle to its next state –i.e.: ON/OFF: There are three programmable options regarding the flashing LED: i. The LED flashes once the starter kill is activated (passive or active arming) and will turn itself off once the user turns the key to the IGNITION ON position. ii. The LED is totally disabled and will not flash –it will turn on solid, however, when in valet mode. iii. The LED will flash once the starter kill is activated but requires pressing the UNLOCK button to turn itself off. Failure to press the UNLOCK button will make the LED flash even if the key is in the IGNITION ON position. Safe Start If this feature is enabled, the user must press the START/STOP button 2 times within 3 seconds to remote-start the vehicle. This will eliminate accidental remote starts, e.g. when children are playing with the transmitter. If swap start mode is selected, to remote-start your vehicle, press the SHIFT button and then the LOCK button. The AUX 2 output can be activated by pressing the START/STOP button. Home Valet TM If this feature is installed, the user will have the possibility to remotely set the vehicle to a no-remote-start mode. See home valet section, on page 10, for full instructions.
AS-2300TW Guide d’installation P. 13 Ignition-Controlled Door Locks This is an added security feature. If your remote starter was installed with the ignition-controlled door locks option, the doors will automatically be locked as soon as the ignition key is turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position while the brakes are pressed. When the key is turned to the OFF position, the doors will automatically be unlocked. Ignition Re-lock On remote starters of this series, when ignition-controlled door locks are enabled and the ignition key is in the IGNITION ON (RUN) position, should any door be unlocked and opened, all doors will be relocked next time the brake pedal is pressed. Secure Lock Before it can remote-start your vehicle, the remote starter must first disarm the factory security system. The secure lock feature may be required on certain vehicle models with factory security systems that automatically unlock the doors when the security system is disarmed. To keep your vehicle protected when the factory security system is disarmed for a remote start, secure lock will relock your doors as soon as the vehicle has started. Once the engine run cycle ends, secure lock will rearm your factory security system. Turbo Mode When left in turbo mode, the remote starter will keep the engine running for 60 seconds before shutting it down. This is to allow a turbocharger to idle down after the user leaves the vehicle. See Turbo Mode section on page 9. Remote Trunk Release If your system was installed with the remote trunk release option, you can open your trunk by pressing the TRUNK button. There will be one beep and LED #4 will flash 3 times. Engine Run Time If you have a gas engine, your remote starter can be programmed to run the engine for 4, 15, or 25 minutes (15 minutes by default). If you have a diesel engine, the remote starter can be programmed to run the engine for 9, 20, or 30 minutes (20 minutes default). Extended Run Time While the vehicle is running under a remote start, pressing and holding the START/STOP button for more than 3 seconds will reset the run time counter to zero and restart the run time cycle from the beginning. There will be one beep a pause three more beeps; the parking lights will flash three times and the horn (if configured) will honk once. The extended run time procedure can only be carried out once per remote start. To stop the vehicle, at any moment, simply press the START/STOP button. Example: If your remote car starter is programmed for a run time of 4 minutes and your vehicle has been running for 3 minutes already, pressing the START/STOP button will reset the counter to zero and allow the engine to run for another cycle (in this case, 4 minutes). Multi-car Operation This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with the same remote starter model, to control both systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle, simultaneously press the TRUNK button and the button of the function you wish to use. Note: Your remote control must be configured for second car operation by the installer.

STOP Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are: The condition of the battery in the transmitter. The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular phone towers…) Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car. The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor range. The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range. The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space. Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna. The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory alarm.
