The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any electrical damage resulting from improper installation of the product, including either damage to the vehicle itself or to
the remote-starter module. This module must be installed by a certified technician including all of the supplied safety devices. Please note that this guide has been written for
trained professional technicians, a certain level of skills and knowledge is therefore assumed. Please review the Installation Guide carefully before beginning any work.
By default this system is setup for vehicles with a manual transmission. For vehicles with an automatic transmission the safety wire loop on the main unit must be cut.
Before proceeding to the installation, make sure that the vehicle does not attempt to start when the when the vehicle is in the “drive” or “reverse” position. If an automatic
transmission vehicle starts when the transmission is in gear, ensure that the safety wire loop on the unit is not cut. Once the safety wire loop is cut, the system is considered
an automatic transmission remote-starter indefinitely. Once a loop is cut all warranties, guaranties, and liability is immediately void if the unit is install on a manual
transmission vehicle.Neither the manufacturer or distributor of this module is responsible of damages of any kind indirectly or directly caused by this module, except for
the replacement of this module in case of manufacturing defects. This module must be install by qualified technician. This instruction guide may change without notice. To
