 ADJUSTING THE SHOCK SENSOR:

If used, the sensitivity of the pre - detect circuit is automatically set 30% less sensitive than the full trigger 

circuit.

1) Using a small screwdriver, gently turn the adjustment screw fully counterclockwise.  (DO NOT over 

turn this screw. Maximum rotation for this adjustment is 270°). Close the hood and trunk lids, and arm 

the alarm. Wait 6 seconds for the accessories trigger zone to stabilize, then firmly strike the rear bumper 

with the side of a closed fist considering the amount of force required to break a window.

CAUTION: Never perform this test on the vehicle’s glass, as you may break the window.

2) Turn the adjustment screw clockwise (increasing sensitivity) about ¼ turn and re-test.  

3) Repeat this procedure until the alarm sounds.  Ultimately, one firm strike to the rear bumper will cause 

the alarm to emit pre-detect warning tones.

 WARNING !

  Setting the sensitivity too high can cause false alarms due to noise vibrations from passing 

trucks and heavy equipment. To decrease sensitivity, turn the adjustment screw counter 

clockwise.

 COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:

After you have confirmed the operation of the Remote Start unit and tested all the safety features of 

the system:

1) Mount the control module up and behind the dash securing it in place with cable ties or screws.  Be 

certain that the chosen mounting location will not inhibit any of the controls of the vehicle.

2) Securely harness and tie all wiring up and away from all hot and moving parts that they may come in 

contact with under the dash board  or in the engine compartment areas.

CAUTION:

 Particularly avoid the area around the steering shaft and column, as wires can wrap around 

these mechanisms and impair the safe operation of the vehicle.

3)  Apply the Caution Labels supplied with this kit to a conspicuous area in the engine compartment.  

Make sure to clean the surface before affixing the label.

4) Check the vehicle's wipers, lights, horn, etc.... to insure proper operation.

5) Replace all panels that were removed during installation, and retest the system.

6) Explain all activated features and safety systems associated with the Remote Start Unit installed.  Also 

point out the location of the Push-Button LED Override/Valet switch to the customer and explain it's 

operation.
