Precautions: Please read carefully

This Remote Starter with Alarm and Keyless Entry System has been designed to be installed BY PROFESSIONAL
INSTALLERS on fuel-injected vehicles with an automatic transmission ONLY.

 Never install this remote starter on a manual transmission vehicle.
 This system must be installed and wired through a safety switch so it will not start in any forward or

reverse gear.

 Once you install this system, you must verify that the vehicle will not start in any forward or reverse

gear, regardless of the type of vehicle.
 Read the operation manual for operating.
 Do not install any component near the brake, gas pedal or steering linkage.
 Some vehicles have a factory installed transponder immobilizer system that can severely complicate

the installation. There is a possibility that this system cannot be installed on some immobilizer-equipped

vehicles.
 Most vehicles have an SRS air bag system. Use extreme care and do not probe any wires of the SRS

system.
 Disconnect the car battery before beginning work on the vehicle.
 Check behind panels before drilling any holes. Ensure that no wiring harness or other components

are located behind the panels that would otherwise be damaged.
 Do not use conventional crimp lock, bullet on any wiring. Poor wiring, i.e. taped joints will possibly

introduce unreliability into the alarm system and may result in false alarms or incorrect operation. We

suggest soldering all connection points.
 Install the wiring neatly under carpets or behind trim to prevent possible damage to wires.
