GEARSHIFT CHECK APPLICABLE TO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES
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 the key being in the 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 centre.
• 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 centre.
GEARSHIFT CHECK APPLICABLE TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES
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.
DETECTION OF PARKING BRAKE STATUS
1. Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm the safety sequence is valid.
Make sure not to apply the brakes.
2. 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 centre.
DETECTION 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. 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.
3. Open then close only one door once the engine has stopped.
4. Try to start the engine using the remote control.
The engine should not be able to be remote started.
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 centre.
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.
