The engine should stop as soon as the hood is opened.
If the engine does not stop immediately, turn the main switch to the OFF position and leave it off until the situation is rectified. Contact your service center.
GEARSHIFT CHECK APPLICABLE TO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES
If the key must be in the ignition for the gearshift to be moved out of “P” (Park), your vehicle is safe as long as keys are kept away from children.
If, on the other hand, the gearshift can be put in gear without the key being in the ignition, proceed with this simple check.
•
Make sure that the parking brake is applied.
•
Put
the
gearshift in gear (D).
•
Remain in the vehicle and be ready to apply the brakes.
•
Start the vehicle with the remote starter.
•
Repeat these steps with the gearshift in every position other than Park and Neutral.
If the starter reacts within 90 seconds (which is not safe), turn the main switch to the OFF position and leave it off until the situation is rectified. Contact your
service center.
•
Make sure that the parking brake is applied.
•
With the gearshift in “P” (Park), start the vehicle with the remote starter.
•
Remain in the vehicle and be ready to apply the brakes.
•
Without applying the brakes, move the gearshift out of “P”.
If, without applying the brakes, the engine does not stop immediately (which is not safe), turn the main switch to the OFF position and leave it off until the
situation is rectified. Contact your service center.
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 the OFF position until the situation is rectified.
DETECTION OF PARKING BRAKE STATUS
1.
Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm that 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 the OFF position
until the situation is rectified. Consult your service center.
DETECTION OF DOOR OPENING
Make sure that the opening of each door (open one by one) will break the safety sequence.
1.
Carry out the safety sequence, then remote start the engine to confirm that 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.
Then open and 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 the error code #15.
Repeat this test for every door of the vehicle (including the 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. Therefore, it must be included in the safety sequence.
If the engine starts, which is not safe, place the main switch in the OFF position until the situation is rectified. Consult your service center.
REPLACING OR BOOSTING THE VEHICLE BATTERY
If you have to replace or boost your battery for any reason, turn the main switch to the OFF position and leave it OFF until the battery is replaced or fully
charged.
REVERSING THE POLARITY WHEN BOOSTING YOUR BATTERY
COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR REMOTE STARTER.
NOTE: In the case that the alarm is armed when the battery is disconnected; if a zone is in violation, the siren will sound when the battery is reconnected.
To avoid this, put the system in Valet Mode before disconnecting the battery.
