２．Features of the System
●The remote control engine starter system consists of a Transmitter that allows you to start and
stop the engine from outside of the vehicle without using the car keys. ← P.6
However, as precaution measures, the Transmitter will not start the engine unless all of the following
conditions are satisfied:
①The gearshift lever is in the “P" (Parking) position.
② All the doors are closed securely.（cars may include tail gates and spare tire carriers,
depending on a model.）
③The engine hood is closed securely.
④The car key is removed from the ignition switch.（Or, the ignition switch has not been operated
in cars with a keyless entry system.）
The engine automatically stops when any one of the above conditions is not satisfied or the gas
pedal is stepped on after the engine starts.
●After the remote control engine starter system starts the engine, the engine may be stopped by remote
control.The engine stops automatically when a fixed time passes. ← P. 7
●The engine may not start when the outside temperature is too low or depending on the battery condition.
If the engine does not start on the first try, it will automatically try again a second time. If
the second try fails, the engine will automatically stop.
●If the car is not used for two weeks, functions will stop to save the car batteries. The engine
will not start with the Transmitter, To re activate the Transmitter; turn the ignition switch of the
car to the "ACC" position. The remote control can be used again after two seconds.
●Use only one Transmitter for one vehicle as a safety precaution.
Do not register two Transmitters or more.

３．Safety Precaution
Do not start your engine in a closed garage or other
area with poor ventilation.
Exhaust fumes can cause poisoning and cause
unconsciousness and even death.
Electric waves from the transmitter can carry very far
depending on the surrounding circumstances. Do not
operate the switches on the transmitter unnecessarily.
To prevent an accident caused by accidental start of the
engine, be sure to operate the remote control car starter
system in an area where you can check the safety around
the car.
Checking your car immediately after warming up the
engine is dangerous and may cause burns.
Do not operate the Transmitter when the engine hood is
open. The engine may start and cause an accident if the
switch detecting opening and shutting is pushed by
mistake.
Do not remotely start the engine when parked on a
hillside. The vibrating engine may start the car
unintentionally and cause an accident.
Do not remotely start the engine when children and pets
are in the car to prevent accidents from occurring.
Starting the engine with the Transmitter is the same as
switching the ignition in the "ON" position.
