4.2 Wiring Diagram (Conceptual)

A detailed wiring diagram is provided with the product for professional installers. This diagram outlines connections for power, ground, door lock/unlock outputs, parking light output, ignition input, and auxiliary outputs. Specific wire colors and locations vary by vehicle make and model.

5. Operating Instructions

The Avital 2103L system operates primarily via the included 4-button remote controls. Familiarize yourself with the button functions:

• Unlock Button: Typically marked with an open padlock icon. Press once to unlock the driver's door (if programmed for driver priority unlock). Press twice within 3 seconds to unlock all doors. The parking lights will flash twice to confirm.

• Auxiliary Output Button: Commonly marked with a trunk icon or "AUX". Press and hold for 3 seconds to activate the programmed auxiliary function (e.g., trunk release). Functionality depends on professional installation and additional modules.

5.1 Ignition Controlled Door Locks

If this feature is enabled during installation, your vehicle's doors will automatically lock when the ignition is turned on and unlock when the ignition is turned off.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Remote Battery Replacement

The remote controls are powered by a small coin-cell battery (e.g., CR2032). If the remote's range decreases significantly or it stops responding, the battery may need replacement.

1. Carefully open the remote casing, usually by prying along the seam with a small flat-head screwdriver.
2. Note the orientation of the existing battery.
3. Remove the old battery and insert a new one of the same type, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Snap the remote casing back together.

6.2 System Care

The main control unit is designed to be maintenance-free once installed. Avoid exposing the remote controls to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or water.

For persistent issues, it is recommended to contact a professional automotive electronics installer or Avital customer support.
