Heater

When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, should not be left on HIGH. It
is recommended to leave the settings on LOW or MEDIUM instead.

Windshield Wipers, Radio & Headlights

Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wipers and / or headlights circuits to become
energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the
windshield wipers and headlights switches are OFF. Leaving the headlights switch ON on certain
types of vehicles could cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shutdown, resulting in a
dead battery.
