¡SAFETY CHECKS
In order to maintain a high safety standard, proceed with the following checks every month.
SAFETY FEATURES
Make sure the parking brake is operational, i.e. it has the capability of immobilizing the vehicle.
If the parking brake cannot stop the wheels from turning, which is not safe, place the main switch in ” OFF ”
position until the situation is rectified .
D etection of parking brake status
■ Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm the safety sequence is valid.
Make sure not to apply the brakes.
■ Release the parking brake.
The engine must stop immediately upon releasing the parking brake. If the engine does not stop, which is
not safe, place the main switch in ” OFF ” position until the situation is rectified . Consult your service
center.
D etection of door opening
Make sure that the opening of each door (open one by one) will break safety sequence.
1. Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm the safety sequence is
valid.
2.
3.
4.
Stop the engine using the remote control. Make sure you do not apply the brakes and that the
parking brake remains applied until step 4.
Open then close only one door once the engine has stopped.
Try to start the engine using the remote control.
The engine should not be able to be remote started and the system should generate error code #15.
Repeat this test for every door of the vehicle ( including hatchback if applicable). If the vehicle is
equipped with fold-down rear seat backrests, the trunk has to be considered as a door since it is an
opening that can give access to the passenger compartment. It must therefore be included in the safety
sequence.
If the engine starts, which is not safe, place the main switch in ” OFF ” position until the situation is
rectified. Consult your service center.
HOOD SWITCH
Remote start your vehicle then open the hood.
Engine should stop as soon as hood is opened. If engine does not stop immediately, turn main switch to
OFF position and leave it off until situation is rectified. Contact your service center.
[ replacing _ orboostingvehiclebatter ^^^_^^J
If you have to replace or boost your battery for any reason, turn main switch to OFF position and leave it
OFF until battery is replaced or fully charged.
R eversing polarity when boosting your battery
could permanently damage your remote starter .

zone is in violation.
To avoid this, put system in Valet Mode before disconnecting battery.
