SAFETY CHECKS
In order to maintain high safety standards, proceed with the following
routine checks every month.
HOOD SWITCH
• Start your vehicle with the Remote Starter.
• Open the hood.
The engine should stop as soon as the hood is opened.
If the engine fails to stop, immediately turn the main switch to the "OFF"
position and leave it "OFF" until the situation is corrected; contact your local
service center.
DETECTING or "N" GEARSHIFT POSITION ~
Your starter is designed to monitor the gearshift position at all times.
If your vehicle is designed in such a way that the key needs to be in the
ignition in order to release the gearshift from the "PARK" position, your
vehicle is safe as long as the keys are kept away from children.
If the gearshift can be put into gear without the key in the ignition, proceed
with the following minor routine checks.
• Place the gearshift lever into gear.
• Be ready to apply brakes.
• Start your vehicle with the Remote Starter.
• Repeat these steps in "Drive" and "Reverse".
If the starter engages within ten (10) seconds of sending the Start command,
immediately turn the main switch to the "OFF" position and leave it "OFF"
until the situation is corrected; contact your local service center.
If you have to replace or boost the battery for any reason, first turn the main
switch "OFF" and leave it "OFF" until the battery is replaced or fully charged.
Reversing polarity during this operation could
permanently damage your Remote Starter.
