  • Page 4 Warning! Safety First Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized Directed dealer. When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the trans- mitter/receiver. Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not have adequate ventilation.

  • Page 5: Before Beginning The Installation

    Installation Points to Remember Before Beginning the Installation IMPORTANT! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use. Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems.

    Valet/Program Switch, 2-Pin BLUE Plug The Valet/Program button should be accessible from the driver’s seat. It plugs into the BLUE port on the side of the unit. Since the system features Valet® by using the transmitter/receiver, the button can be well hidden. Consider how the button will be used before choosing a mounting location. Check for rear clearance before drilling a 9/32-inch hole and mounting the button.The GRAY wire in the two-pin plug may also be used as a (+) ghost switch input and can be connected to any (+) switch in the vehicle.
