Autostart ASL-150 - Manual (Page 4)

P. 4 User Guide
In either mode, you can arm or disarm your alarm system using your remote control as well as lock
or unlock your doors.
Passive Arm Mode
In passive arming mode, the system will arm itself automatically after the completion of a 1 min
arming delay (LED flashes quickly) initiated after the last door of the vehicle is closed. Therefore,
you do not need to arm the system. The LED indicator flashes slowly when the system is armed.
However, you must lock your doors manually when leaving the vehicle.
When leaving your vehicle, perform the following:
1. Turn the key switch off. The LED remains off.
2. Unlock if required and open the doors.
3. Once all doors are closed after exiting the vehicle, the LED will begin to flash quickly,
indicating that passive arming delay has begun.
Also, as long as a door, trunk or hood is open before the completion of the arming delay, the
system will not rearm. If you want to stay in the vehicle for a certain period of time, it is
recommended to have your key switch in the ON position to avoid a situation where the system
arms before somebody leaves the vehicle. While your key is in the ON position, the system will not
arm and the LED stays off.
Active Arm Mode
To arm the system, and lock your doors (if you have this option), the ignition must go from ON to
OFF and a door has to be opened and then closed. Press the
LOCK button on your remote until the
siren chirps once in confirmation. Notice that the parking lights confirm the system arming by
flashing once and that the LED indicator flashes slowly to confirm the armed state. (See “Chirp
delete” on p. 3 to bypass the chirping effect).
Disarming and Unlocking Doors
If the system was programmed in passive mode, to disarm the system and unlock the doors, press
the
UNLOCK button until the siren chirps twice in confirmation. Notice also that the parking lights
confirm the system disarming by flashing twice. Once the system is disarmed, you have to open a
door within a 35-second delay or else the system will rearm (LED flashing slowly). If the entry delay
expires, you must disarm the vehicle by pressing
UNLOCK to enter. Once inside the vehicle, you
have up to 35 seconds to turn the key switch to the ON position or start the car to prevent the
system from rearming again. If this is not done, your system will rearm (LED flashing slowly) and if
your system has a starter kill, you will not be able to start the car. If this situation occurs, you need
to disarm the car by pressing the
UNLOCK button before turning the key.
Starter Disable
Among the many features, the starter disable circuit will immobilize the vehicle when the system is
armed (If installed). The system, when armed, will control a relay that will physically interrupt the
vehicle starter wire and prevent the hot-wiring of your vehicle. The system is selectable, passive or
active arming; this means that you can have the unit arm by itself (passive) after a pre-
programmed period of time (1 minute) or you can have control over the system (active) such that it
will never arm by itself.
Note: When the system is armed, the vehicle will not start with the key unless the system has
been disarmed (via remote unlock).
To Arm the Starter Disable
• Lock the doors by remote or wait the timeout period in passive arm mode. The system is armed
automatically when the doors are locked by remote.
To Disarm the Starter Disable
• Unlock the doors by remote or place the unit into valet mode.
