SAFETY CHECKS
In order to maintain a high safety standard, proceed with the following checks every month.
HOOD SWITCH
Remote start your vehicle.
Open 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.
GEARSHIFT CHECK
If key must be in ignition for gearshift to be moved out of P, your vehicle is safe as long as keys are kept away
from children.
If, on the other hand, gearshift can be put in gear without key being in ignition, proceed with this simple check.
Put gearshift in gear (D).
Remain in the vehicle and be ready to apply brakes
.
Start vehicle with remote starter.
Repeat these steps with gearshift in every position other than Park and Neutral.
If starter reacts within 90 seconds (which would be abnormal), turn main switch to OFF position and leave it off
until situation is rectified. Contact your service center.
With gearshift in P, start vehicle with remote starter.
Remain in vehicle and be ready to apply brakes
.
Without applying brakes
, move gearshift out of P.
If, without applying brakes, engine does not stop immediately (which would be abnormal), turn main switch to
OFF position and leave it off until situation is rectified.
Contact your service center.
REPLACING OR BOOSTING VEHICLE BATTERY
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.
Reversing polarity when boosting your battery
could permanently damage your remote starter.
Note: If alarm is armed when battery is disconnected, siren will sound when battery is reconnected if a zone is
in violation.
To avoid this, put system in Valet Mode before disconnecting battery.
