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
transmission, test that the vehicle does not start when the gearshift lever is in the “Drive” position. If it starts in gear, reset the
remote starter to manual transmission.
