GEARSHIFT CHECK APPLICABLE TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES
Make sure the parking brake is operational, i.e. it has the capability of
immobilizing
the vehicle.
If the parking brake cannot stop the wheels from turning, which is not safe, place the main switch in
OFF
position until the
situation is rectified
.
D
ETECTION OF PARKING BRAKE STATUS
1. Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm the safety sequence is valid.
Make sure not to apply the brakes.
2.
Release the parking brake.
The engine must stop immediately upon releasing the parking brake. If the engine does not stop, which is not safe, place
the main switch in
OFF
position until the situation is rectified
. Consult your service center.
D
ETECTION OF DOOR OPENING
Make sure that the opening of
each
door (open one by one) will break safety sequence.
1.
Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm the safety sequence is valid.
2.
Stop the engine using the remote control. Make sure you do not apply the brakes and that the parking brake
remains applied until step 4.
3.
Open then close
only one door
once the engine has stopped.
4.
Try to start the engine using the remote control.
The engine should not be able to be remote started and the system should generate error code #15 (see table on page 18).
Repeat this test
for every door
of the vehicle (
including hatchback
if applicable).
If the vehicle is equipped with fold-down rear seat backrests, the trunk has to be considered as a door since it is an opening
that can give access to the passenger compartment. It
must
therefore be included in the safety sequence.
If the engine starts, which is not safe, place the main switch in
OFF
position until the situation is rectified.
Consult your
service center.
REPLACING OR BOOSTING VEHICLE BATTERY
If you have to replace or boost your battery for any reason, turn main switch to
OFF
position
and leave it OFF until battery
is replaced or fully charged.
Reversing polarity when boosting your battery
could permanently damage your remote starter.
Note
: If alarm is armed when battery is disconnected, siren will sound when battery is reconnected if a zone is in violation.
To avoid this, put system in Valet Mode before disconnecting battery.
