CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a state-of-the-art vehicle security sys-
tem. This system has been designed to provide years of trouble-free opera-
tion. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed by an autho-
rized dealer only. Installation of this product by any other person other than an
authorized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are provided with a preprint-
ed dealer certificate to verify that they are authorized.
THE SYSTEM REQUIRES NO SPECIFIC MAINTENANCE.Your remote control is powered
by a miniature 12V battery, type GP23A, that will last about a year under nor-
mal use.When the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the
LED on the remote will light dim.
YOUR WARRANTY card must be returned and the bar code serial number must
not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned you don’t have a warran-
ty. It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase which reflects that the
product was installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure you receive the
warranty card from your dealer.
THIS OWNERS GUIDE should help you to get the most out of your system.Please
take the time to read it thoroughly, prior to using the system.
NOTE: This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Use of this
product in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and contrary the product's intended use.
IMPORTANT! Most GM trucks and sport utility vehicles do not have an electric neutral safety
switch. They use a mechanical switch that cannot prevent a remote start system from energizing
the starter. When remote starting such a vehicle never leave the keys in the ignition or leave
the vehicle parked in gear. Always put the vehicle in park before operating this remote start sys-
tem. Activating this system while the shift lever is in a drive gear will cause the vehicle to lurch
forward and may cause damage to persons or property as a result.
