SAFETY CHECKS

In order to maintain a high safety standard, proceed with the following checks every month.

SAFETY FEATURES

Make sure the parking brake is operational, i.e. it has the capability of immobilizing the vehicle.
If the parking brake cannot stop the wheels from turning, which is not safe, place the main switch in "OFF" position until
the situation is rectified.
D
ETECTION OF PARKING BRAKE STATUS
1. Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm the safety sequence is valid.
Make sure not to apply the brakes.
2. Release the parking brake.
The engine must stop immediately upon releasing the parking brake. If the engine does not stop, which is not safe, place
the main switch in "OFF" position until the situation is rectified. Consult your service center.
D
ETECTION OF DOOR OPENING
Make sure that the opening of each door (open one by one) will break safety sequence.
1. Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm the safety sequence is valid.
2. Stop the engine using the remote control. Make sure you do not apply the brakes and that the parking brake
remains applied until step 4.
3. Open then close only one door once the engine has stopped.
4. Try to start the engine using the remote control.
The engine should not be able to be remote started. Repeat this test for every door of the vehicle (including hatchback
if applicable). If the vehicle is equipped with fold-down rear seat backrests, the trunk has to be considered as a door since
it is an opening that can give access to the passenger compartment. It must therefore be included in the safety sequence.
If the engine starts, which is not safe, place the main switch in "OFF" position until the situation is rectified. Consult
your service center.

HOOD SWITCH

Remote start your vehicle then open the hood.
Engine should stop as soon as hood is opened. If engine does not stop immediately, turn main switch to OFF position and
leave it off until situation is rectified. Contact your service center.

REPLACING OR BOOSTING VEHICLE BATTERY

If you have to replace or boost your battery for any reason, turn main switch to OFF position and leave it OFF until
battery is replaced or fully charged.
