Throughout this guide, there are references to 2-way communi-
cation and/or confirmation of commands via the 2-way remote

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment OFF and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Warning! Safety First
Please read the safety warnings below before proceeding.
Improper use of the product may be dangerous or illegal.
Installation
Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product
must only be performed by an authorized ProStart®dealer. If you
have any questions, ask your retailer or contact us at 1-800-361-
7271.
Remote Start Capable
When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a
command signal from the remote control transmitter. Therefore,
never operate the system in an enclosed area or partially enclosed
area without ventilation (such as a garage). When parking in an
enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle ser-
viced, the remote start system must be disabled using the installed
toggle switch. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle
and keep out of reach from children all remote control transmit-
ters to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start
the vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE
DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO
THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING
AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE
STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These
precautions are the sole responsibility of the user.
Manual Transmission Vehicles
Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differ-
ently than those with automatic transmission because you must
leave your car in neutral. You must read this Owner’s Guide to
familiarize yourself with the proper procedures regarding manual

transmission remote starters. If you have any questions, ask your
authorized ProStart®dealer or contact us at 1-800-361-7271.
Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, be sure to:
• Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing
in front or behind the vehicle.
• Only remote start on a flat surface
• Have the parking brake fully engaged
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the park-
ing/emergency brake properly functions. Failure to do so can
result in personal injury or property damage. We recommend the
owner have the parking/emergency brake system inspected and
adjusted by a qualified automotive shop biannually.
Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode
of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or
death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear,
and (2) never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition.
The user must also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle
periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start
while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an
authorized ProStart®dealer in accordance with the Safety Check
outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in
gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with
the authorized ProStart®dealer to fix the problem.
After the remote start module has been installed, contact your au-
thorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start module by
performing the Safety Check outlined in the product installation
guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety
Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly
installed. The remote start module must be removed or the installer
must properly reinstall the remote start system so that the vehicle

does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an
authorized ProStart® dealer.

RIZED PROSTART®DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE
INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE
HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTAL-
LATION COSTS.

purchase. The accessory will be sent to the retailer for the consumer to
claim within a 4 (four)-week period.

with, without the explicit written consent of a Directed technician. For
remote starter modules, this includes the opening or removal of the
plastic covering of the module, or the removal or alteration of the
barcode label on the plastic covering of the module.
