Notice 

The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any electrical damage resulting from improper installation of the product, be
that either damage to the vehicle itself or to the unit. This unit must be installed by a certified technician using all safety devices 
supplied. Please note that this guide has been written for properly trained Autostart technicians: a certain level of skills and
knowledge is therefore assumed. Please review the installation guide carefully before beginning any work. 

Warning 

Before installing the unit, if installing on a vehicle with a 

manual

transmission, test that the OEM Door Switch contacts of the 

vehicle work well, and that the Parking Brake system operates properly. If installing on a vehicle with an 

automatic
