CAUTION
This MADS product is intended for use on unmodified stock engines. Remove any performance
enhancing electronic devices and make sure the ECM has been returned to STOCK if you have used
another manufacturer’s programmer before the Smarty Micro Tuner.
The use of this product to change the performance characteristics of your vehicle could invalidate the
warranty provided by the vehicle manufacturer. Consult your vehicle warranty before using the
product on your vehicle.
NEVER CONNECT BOTH THE SMARTY CONNECTORS AT THE SAME TIME!
This could damage Smarty and the computer USB port.
NEVER UNPLUG SMARTY WHILE IT IS UPDATING YOUR ECM.
Smarty can recover without pulling fuses, or disconnecting batteries, BUT do not intentionally create
this situation. When Smarty is DONE with ECM updates, ABS changes, or clearing DTC codes, it
may be unplugged, even if Smarty does not display the typical “Unplug Smarty and Turn Key OFF”
screen.
It is recommended that you do not store your Smarty Micro Tuner in your vehicle if ambient
temperatures in your area fall below 32°F. Excessively low temperatures can cause malfunction or
damage to Smarty Micro Tuner that is not covered by the MADS warranty.
In the case of ECM replacement, restore the ECM back to the STOCK software before the ECM
replacement. Smarty works only with one vehicle and one ECM at a time while it is VIN Locked.
Under no circumstances we will refund, repair, or warranty units that are send in and result VIN #
locked.
RESTORE ECM TO STOCK SOFTWARE BEFORE ANY SERVICE ASSISTANCE.
If you need to return your vehicle to a service center, restore the vehicle ECM to its STOCK program
by following the instruction in this manual. The service center might reprogram your vehicle with an
updated, STOCK, software ECM reflash without your knowledge. If your vehicle has not been
returned to its STOCK program prior to a service visit and the ECM is reflashed, the Smarty Micro
Tuner will no longer be able to program your vehicle. Such failure is not covered by the MADS
warranty. Under no circumstances will we refund, repair, or warranty units that are sent in that are
locked.
