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.
➢
Optional 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 optional 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 posi-
tion. Check with your installer for the location of the shutdown switch.

Remote Start Safe-lock

activated and after it is deactivated, even if they are unlocked when remote
start is activated.
Door locks may require additional parts and labor.
