PRECAUTIONS
This system is designed for vehicles with power door locks only.
This system is designed to be used with fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only.
SAFETY FIRST!
Never start your vehicle if it is indoors, if the keys are in the ignition and you’re sure the car is in
park. A periodic safety check is recommended to ensure that your system is in proper working order.
DO NOT use mechanical wiring connections, such as crimp or snap together taps. Follow instructions
on page 2-3.
DO NOT disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio or is equipped with an airbag.
Doing so may cause a warning light to be displayed and may require a trip to the dealer to be corrected.
DO NOT leave the interior or exterior lights on for an extended period of time as it may cause battery
drain. Remove the dome light fuse from the vehicle’s fuse box. NOTE: Starter systems do not work well
with a partially discharged battery.
DO NOT mount the control module until all connections have been made and tested. Using wire ties or
double sided tape, MOUNT THE MODULE UNDER THE DRIVER’S DASH. Place the warning sticker under the
hood.
WARNING! – GENERAL MOTORS REAR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES AND DODGE DAKOTAS

electrical Neutral Safety switch. They have a mechanical neutral safety switch. The mechanical neutral
safety switch operates as follows.
a)The key will only turn to start position when the gear selector is in park or neutral.
b)The key can only be removed from the ignition switch when the gear selector is in the park
position.
You must use special precautions with this system. For more information see page 8.

system is a technological breakthrough utilizing the most advanced, state of the art technology and
components. It is computer controlled and manufactured in the U.S.A. The dependability and variety of
features make Bulldog Security the leader in the industry. Enjoy your new system for years to come!
This system is designed to start your vehicle by sending a command signal from the remote transmitter or
by programming automatic temperature or timed start. It is required that your installation is done in a
well-ventilated area. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the system is not used to start
the vehicle in an undesired location. It is recommended that a carbon monoxide detector be installed in
the living area near where the vehicle will be garaged.
Since there are many different makes and models of vehicles, look at the wiring chart on or our website,
www.bulldogsecurity.com/wires.htm.
Read this manual thoroughly before starting the installation. You must also decide if any options are
desired such as trunk release and dome light supervision. An optional relay will be needed for these
options. TACH/TACHLESS OPERATION In most cases the decision to go with tachless mode will save time during
the installation. If your vehicle is hard-starting or a diesel then you must use tach mode.
Please do not skip any steps.
