  • 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 remote control transmitter. 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.

    Neutral Safety Switch Interface Some vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part. In these vehicles, it is impossible to interface the remote start system before the neutral safety switch. With this type of vehicle, if the vehicle is left in a drive gear and the remote start system is activated, the vehicle will move and may cause damage to persons or property.

    Troubleshooting Alarm Troubleshooting Starter kill doesn't work: Is the correct wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely disconnected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted. Is the yellow wire of the starter kill relay going to primary ignition? This wire must be powered in the run and start positions.

Sometimes a shutdown will become active during cranking or just after cranking. The vehicle starts, but the starter keeps running. Is the system programmed for engine checking off or voltage sense? When programmed for either of these features, the engine cranks for the preprogrammed crank time regardless of how long it takes for the vehicle to actually start.
