AviStart 4501  
Congratulations! You have just purchased the AviStart 4501, a keyless entry  
and remote engine starter system manufactured by Avital Technologies, Inc.  
You are about to experience the convenience and luxury of being able to start  
your vehicle engine from the comfort of your home, office, department store  
or other remote location.  
To benefit fully from the capabilities of your AviStart system, we encourage  
you to read the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the system. If you  
should have any problems or questions regarding your AviStart system,  
consult the dealer from whom you purchased this product. To locate an  
authorized Avital dealer, contact Customer Service directly at 1-800-824-3208  
(toll-free within the U.S.) or 1-818-709-7551.  
Lifetime Warranty  
Avital guarantees the operation of your AviStart control unit and remote  
controls for as long as you own your car. (Please refer to back of this manual  
for complete information.)  
Remote Controls  
Included with your AviStart system are two AviGlo™ 4-button/9-channel  
remote controls. Once exposed to light, the AviGlo™ remote control buttons  
will glow, making the buttons visible in the dark.  
The remote control (remote) is a miniature transmitter powered by a small  
+12 volt battery. The RangeMaster™ super-heterodyne receiver (installed in  
your vehicle) allows your remote to command your system from up to ¼ mile  
away. Obstructions, electrical or radio interference, weather conditions,  
window tint or a weak battery can reduce this range. Your remote is the key to  
your AviStart system and can be used lock and unlock your doors, "pop" your  
trunk, start your engine and control optional accessories.  
The AviStart system can accept up to four Avital remote controls. Additional  
remote controls and remote control batteries can be purchased from any  
authorized Avital dealer, or by calling Customer Service at 1-800-824-3208  
(toll-free within the U.S.) or 1-818-709-7551.

AviStart 4501 Owner's Manual 0999  
 
Stealth Coding Technology  
Stealth Coding™ technology offers the most advanced protection available  
against "code-grabbing" devices which thieves may use to record the digital  
code transmitted by your remote control. When you leave the area, thieves  
can then play back the code to unlock the doors and deactivate your system.  
But Avital’s remote controls with Stealth Coding™ randomly change the code  
every time you use them, and your system will not respond if any code is  
retransmitted. This technology makes code-grabbing devices useless.  
Electronic Scan Prevention (ESP)  
Your AviStart system also includes ESP, which blocks electronic scanner codes  
to prevent unauthorized operation of your system.  
Instant Remote Control Code Deletion  
In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, all remote controls can be  
erased from the system’s memory to prevent unauthorized system operation.  
(See the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 11).  
One-Step Remote Control Code Learning  
The AviStart system allows you to add new remote controls in one step. (See  
the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 11).  
Valet Switch  
The valet switch is a small hidden toggle switch which allows you to control  
all of the system’s programmable features. (See the "User-Programmable  
Features" on page 10). This switch canonly be controlled with the use of your  
ignition key.  
NOTE: Be sure to have your dealer show you where the valet switch is located.
