• 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 9.)
• 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.

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
lift-gate 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.
