OWNER'S MANUAL
ATTENTION- Please take a moment to review the safety precautions before operating your system.
1) For safety reasons, the owner/user of this system MUST INSTALL a CARBON
MONOXIDE DETECTOR in the living area near to where the vehicle is being stored or parked.
2) It is the sole responsibility of the owner/user to keep the remote transmitters away from the reach of children and handle with care so that the system does not unintentionally start.
3) When the vehicle is parked in an enclosed/partially enclosed area (ex: garage,
car port...), being serviced (ex: oil change) or the vehicle is loaned to an operator not familiar with a remote starter, the system MUST BE placed Service/ Valet Mode.
4) MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES Never install a automatic remote start module into a manual transmission vehicle. Doing so could result in EXTENSIVE
DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND POSSIBLY CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. IF THIS SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED IN A
MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE, RETURN TO YOUR DEALER AND HAVE IT
DISABLED UNTIL THE CORRECT MODEL CAN BE INSTALLED.
