Safety features

This system has several important safety features to ensure proper

operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or

its components.

Starter anti-grind circuitry

Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry

prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the

start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is

turned to the start position during remote start operation.

Note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start

system is operating the motor and the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay

is installed.

Disabling the remote start system

This feature allows the remote start unit to be temporarily disabled

to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This

feature is useful when the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an

enclosed area.

To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the

OFF position. Check with your installer for the location.
