HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN:

To test the integrity of this circuit:
1. With the driver's window in the down position, start the vehicle using the RF transmitter.
2. Reach inside the car and pull the hood release.
3. Raise the hood and confirm that the remote start unit shuts down.
If the unit fails this test, recheck your pin switch connection to the Gray/Black Wire of the Remote Start Unit.
DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE
OPERATION OF THE HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEATURE.
REMOTE START OVERRIDE MODE / MANUAL SHUT DOWN:
The intent of the remote start override / manual shut down circuit is to allow the vehicle operator to prevent
operation of the Remote Start Unit regardless of the RF transmitter operation.
To Enter The Remote Start Override Mode:
1. With the system disarmed/unlocked, and the ignition switch off Press and Hold the pushbutton switch
located on the receiver unit on.
2. Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off.
3. The LED begins to flash two short flashes followed by one long flashes and continues this pattern until
returned to normal mode of operation.
The action above puts the unit into the Remote Start Override mode or vehicle service mode and will not
start from the RF transmitter or any other input.
