Before beginning the installation

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. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed
systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as
test lights and logic probes (computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a
high quality digital multi-meter before making connections.
Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio.
If equipped with an air bag, avoid disconnecting the battery if possible.
Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their warning
lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to
be erased, which can require a trip to the dealer.
If using an external LED or Valet Switch, check with the customer about
where to locate the switch.
To avoid accidental battery drainage; turn off the interior lights or remove
the dome light fuse.
Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

After the installation

Test all functions. The Using Your System section of the Owner's Guide is
very helpful when testing.
Review and complete the Safety Check section of this guide prior to the
vehicle reassembly.
