➢ Doubleguard shock sensor
Since the shock sensor is built into the main unit, be sure to keep the shock sensor
performance in mind when deciding on a location for the main unit.
Note:
In many vehicles, fastening the main unit (the brain) to a steering column
or screwing it to metal will result in poor sensitivity, especially at the rear of the
vehicle.
➢ 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 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.
•
When testing, don't forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance
Prevention® Circuitry (NPC). NPC can bypass trigger zones, making them
appear to stop working. See the Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry section
in the owners guide.
•
Review and complete the Safety Check section of this guide prior to the
vehicle reassembly.
