VERIFICATIONS AND TESTING TO BE DONE
BEFORE THE INSTALLATION
To ensure that the installation and the use of this product are safe,
you must
follow the instructions in this manual.
Please pay special attention to the following points.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLE
• Ensure that the vehicle cannot be remote started when in gear. Also ensure that the gearshift
lever cannot
be moved out of the "Park" position without first applying the brakes.
If it is possible to crank the engine while the gearshift lever is in gear, or if you can
move the gearshift lever out of "Park" position without pressing on the brakes,
contact our Technical Assistance Department at 1-800-461-8223. A technical
advisor will help you with an appropriate and safe solution based on the make and
model of the vehicle on which you are working.
• Once the installation is completed, you must check ALL safety devices described in the "POST-
INSTALLATION AND SECURITY TESTS" on page 26 of this guide.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE
• Make sure you have in hand a “manual interface module” part no. RS-MI (not included)
specially made to safely install the remote starter in a manual transmission vehicle.
•
Make sure that all door pin switches work and that the parking brake is operational (i.e. it can
immobilize the vehicle). These security features must be operational before the installation of the
remote starter.
•
Make sure it is impossible to access the gearshift lever without opening a door or the
hatchback.
If the gearshift lever can be accessed without opening a door (i.e. convertibles) or if
opening any one door does not break the safety sequence, we strongly
recommend adding a motion detector (microwave) to prevent a start if any activity
is detected near the gearshift lever. See details on the manual interface
instructions.
•
Once the installation is completed, you must check ALL safety devices described in the
"POST-INSTALLATION AND SECURITY TESTS" on page 26 of this guide. Make sure the
opening of each door and/or of the hatchback (one at a time) breaks the safety sequence that
normally allows the system to initiate a remote start sequence.
