Keep remote controls away from children.
•
Have your engine tuned regularly to ensure optimum performance of your remote starter.
•
Make sure that the windshield wipers and the headlights are turned off before leaving vehicle.
•
Regularly check safety features that stop engine (see "Safety Checks" on page 17.)
•
Make sure you comply with all local regulations, which may prohibit leaving your engine running when vehicle is
unattended in a public place.
•
To ensure continued safe operation of your remote starter, ask your AstroStart dealer to periodically check
and/or tune the remote starting system.
•
Always advise service personnel that your vehicle is equipped with a remote starter.
•
We strongly recommend that you have your remote starter checked annually. Contact a dealer in your area.
•
All users of the vehicle should be aware of the safety precautions and operation procedures.

Make sure that the warning sticker is present on the driver's window.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES
•
Make sure that the parking brake is operational, i.e. it can prevent the vehicle from moving.
•
If the shift lever is accessible without having to open a door of the vehicle (for example, by entering via the
liftgate or rear hatch) or in the case of a convertible vehicle, it is strongly recommended to have a motion
detector (microwave) installed with the system. This device prevents the engine from starting should any activity
be detected near the gearshift.
