1. Remote Engine Start features
WARNING
Do not install this device on a vehicle equipped
with a manual transmission.
Only install this device on designated vehicles
which the harness fits.
This device can only be installed on vehicles
equipped with AT / CVT. Do not install this
product on a vehicle equipped with a manual
transmission because it is hazardous.
Do not start the engine while inside an
enclosed space or garage.
Never start up the engine while inside an
enclosed space where the exhaust fumes can
build up, such as a poorly ventilated garage, an
underground parking garage or a parking tower.
The exhaust fumes are hazardous and can
cause poisoning or intoxication.
Ensure that the periphery of the vehicle is safe.
Use this device only where you can thoroughly
check that the periphery of the vehicle is safe. In
particular, using the device while a child or pet is
close by can result in an unexpected accident.
Do not disassemble or modify this device.
Never disassemble or modify this device, or
install it in a location not specified in this
manual. Otherwise, it may not operate correctly
and/or may result in an accident or breakdown.
In addition, this situation is not covered under
warranty.
The Remote Engine Start allows the user to start the engine of a
vehicle from a remote location using a remote control.
The user can turn on the air conditioner / heater beforehand so the
cabin of the vehicle can be cooled or heated ahead of time.
2. Safety precautions
3
WARNING
Do not start up the engine using the Remote
Engine Start when parked on an incline.
If the vehicle were to move unintentionally due
to the engine vibration, jolt, etc., it could result in
a serious accident.
Performing safe maintenance and inspection.
When performing vehicle inspection and
maintenance, remove the (-) terminal on the
vehicle battery. Never start up the engine with
the remote control during inspection or
maintenance at a gas or service station, etc.
Otherwise, an accident may occur, such as
getting a hand or clothes caught in the rotating
parts. Do not perform inspection or
maintenance in the engine compartment while
the hood switch is pressed.
Keep the remote control in a safe and secure
place.
Keep the remote control out of the reach of
children. Otherwise, they may swallow the
lithium battery accidentally and choke.
Do not operate this device while other people
are inside the vehicle.
In order to prevent an unexpected jump start,
etc., never start the engine while a pet or
someone (especially children) is inside the
vehicle. Stopping the engine automatically using
the Remote Engine Start settings is hazardous
(while someone is inside) because the
temperature inside the vehicle may become too
hot. In addition, there is also a risk of children
accidently pressing the climate control switch
and setting the temperature too high or too low.

WARNING
Fire prevention.
Do not start the engine when the vehicle is near
something flammable (oil or dry grass).
Otherwise, the high temperature from the
exhaust fumes or exhaust pipe could cause a
fire.
Do not start the engine while the vehicle is
wrapped with a body cover. Otherwise, the high
temperature from the exhaust fumes or exhaust
pipe could cause a fire.
Do not pour water on the remote control.
The remote control is water resistant for
exposure during daily life, but it may break down
if submerged in water or if water gets inside the
device.
Do not perform standard inspection and
maintenance right after warming up the engine.
Performing inspection or maintenance before
operation and immediately after warming up your
vehicle could result in a burn injury. First, wait 5
minutes once the engine has stopped. Then,
after checking all the parts for heat hazards,
proceed with the inspection and maintenance.
Check points when the vehicle is parked.
Perform the following safety checks thoroughly
when the vehicle is parked to prevent potential
accidents when starting the engine.
Engage the parking brake.
Put the shift lever in the “P” position.
Be sure there is no advanced or smart key inside
the vehicle.
Close all doors and windows.
Lock the doors.
Check that the hood is closed.
Turn off the windshield wipers.
If the vehicle is equipped with automatic lights,
turn off the automatic light settings.
Be sure that the steering lock is engaged.

4. Operating precautions
Usage Environment
The remote control signal (or the response signal from the controller) may
not reach the controller (or the remote control) if there are strong radio
waves transmitting nearby, or if there are obstacles blocking the signal.
The engine may be slow to start during severe cold weather conditions.
Vehicles with Remote Control Door Lock Function
Door Lock and Door Unlock Function by the remote control keyless entry
or advanced keyless entry system equipped the vehicle can be performed
while the engine is running by the Remote Engine Start. However, if Door
Lock and Door Unlock Function do not work due to interference caused by
engine noise, etc., perform these Door Lock and Door Unlock operations
on the vehicle remote control, etc. after stop the engine.
Vehicles with Genuine Theft-Deterrent System
After setting the vehicle's genuine theft-deterrent system, the
theft-deterrent system continues to operate and the set condition is
maintained even if the engine is started using the remote control. Therefore,
the alarm is activated if any of the warning conditions are met, such as the
door opening. However, the theft-deterrent system cannot be set after the
engine is started using the remote control.
Vehicles with Automatic Lights
When vehicles equipped with automatic lights are set to the “AUTO”
position for the light switch, the lights turn on if the engine is started at
night with the remote control. However, if the engine automatically stops
after warming up, the lights will also turn off at the same time to prevent the
battery from draining. However, to avoid light interference, set the
automatic light switch to the “OFF” position when using the remote control
to turn on the engine at night.
Do Not Perform Unnecessary Idling
To help protect the environment, conserve energy and avoid inconveniencing
others, do not perform idling when it is unnecessary or longer than necessary.

Remote Control Handling Instructions
Depending on the surroundings and how the remote control is held, the
minimum distance required for the signal transmission varies. Generally, if the
remote control is directed toward the vehicle when transmitting the signal, it
should successfully transmit from far away.
ADVICE
The remote control is a sensitive electronic device similar to a cellular
telephone. Please follow the handling instructions below to avoid damage to
or breakdown of the remote control.
Avoid storing or using the remote control in places that expose it to direct sunlight,
places that have high humidity, places with extremely high temperatures (on top
of the dashboard, etc.) or places with extremely low temperatures (leaving inside
the vehicle while parked at ski resorts, etc.).
Do not store or use the remote control in places where it comes into direct
contact with water.
Avoid exposure to strong impacts such as dropping it on the floor or hitting it
against something hard.
If the remote control gets very dirty, use a cloth soaked in a watered-down, mild
or neutral detergent, ring out the liquid solution and wipe down the remote control.
(Never use benzene, thinner or chemically treated cloth/wipes.)
Avoid attaching a lot of keys to the key ring on the remote control, or sitting down
while the remote control is in your pocket, as it can cause the remote control to
deform and may result in damage.
While carrying the remote control, if the keys, etc., come into contact with a
vehicle, it can lead to remote control breakdown or malfunction due an
electrostatic discharge. Therefore, be careful of this risk during time periods when
electrostatic discharges occur frequently.
Be sure that the battery cover is securely locked by the screw. Otherwise, if water
accidently gets inside the internal part of the transmitter, it can cause breakdown
Do not use in restricted areas such as on board airplanes or inside hospitals.
The remote control can negatively impact electronic and medical devices.
Be sure to follow the instructions and rules posted inside medical clinics or
facilities regarding the use of electronic devices.
If the remote control is used on board airplanes, where usage is restricted, you
may be subject to punishment due to airline rules and regulations.
