Precautions: Please read carefully

This Remote Starter with Alarm and Keyless Entry System has been designed to be installed by 
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLERS on fuel-injected vehicles with an automatic transmission ONLY. 

•  Never install this remote starter on a manual transmission vehicle.

•  This system must be installed and wired through a safety switch so it will not start in any forward or reverse gear.

•  Once you install this system, you must verify that the vehicle will not start in any forward or reverse gear,  

regardless of the type of vehicle.

•  Read the operation manual for operating.

•  Do not install any component near the brake, gas pedal or steering linkage.

•  Some vehicles have a factory installed transponder immobilizer system that can severely complicate the installation. 

There is a possibility that this system cannot be installed on some immobilizer-equipped vehicles.

•  Most vehicles have an SRS air bag system. Use extreme care and do not probe any wires of the SRS system.

•  Disconnect the car battery before beginning work on the vehicle.

•  Check behind panels before drilling any holes. Ensure that no wiring harness or other components are located behind 

the panels that would otherwise be damaged.

•  Do not use conventional crimp lock, bullet on any wiring. Poor wiring, i.e. taped joints will possibly introduce unreliability 

into the alarm system and may result in false alarms or incorrect operation. We suggest soldering all connection points.

•  Install the wiring neatly under carpets or behind trim to prevent possible damage to wires.

WARNINGS:

As with any product that performs automatic functions, there are certain safety precautions that you must  

practice and be aware of.

 

1 Keep the transmitter out of children’s reach.

  2. Do not leave anyone in the vehicle while running on remote control.

  3. Alert servicing personnel that the vehicle can be started automatically.

  4. Do not start the vehicle by remote while it’s in an enclosed area or garage.

  5. Always apply the parking brake and lock the vehicle as you exit the vehicle.

  6. The vehicle windows must be rolled up.

  7. Should the unit malfunction, disconnect the fuse until the problem is corrected.

  8. The use and operations of this system is the sole responsibility of the operator.

  9. Some areas may have local ordinances that prohibit leaving a vehicle running on public streets.

10. It is not safe to remote start the vehicle if the vehicle is parked on a steep incline.
