1. Remote Engine Start features

z The Remote Engine Start allows the user to start the engine of a vehicle

from a remote location using a remote control.

z The user can turn on the air conditioner / heater beforehand so the cabin

of the vehicle can be cooled or heated ahead of time.

z The user can check the status of the vehicle from a remote location.

2. Safety precautions

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.

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.

4

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)

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 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

if there are strong radio waves

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

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 and clasp are securely locked. 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.

ADVICE

• 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.
