Setup and Installation

Professional installation by a qualified car alarm installer is strongly recommended. Incorrect installation can lead to vehicle damage or system malfunction. This system is designed for DC12V petrol vehicles, including both automatic and manual transmission models.

Important Considerations:

• Immobilizer Bypass: If your vehicle has a factory OEM key fob with a chip immobilizer, an extra bypass module (e.g., ASIN: B07NSLPBG7 or B00MEHBVIC) is required.
• Steering Lock: The steering lock must be unlocked, released, or removed during installation.
• Diesel Vehicles: For diesel cars with engine cranking times exceeding 3 seconds, it may be necessary to turn on the ON dashboard first to pre-warm the spark plug before starting, or to add an extra timer delay switch.

Operating Instructions

1. Passive Keyless Entry (PKE)

With the key fob in your hand or pocket, the system will automatically unlock the vehicle doors when you approach within 1-2 meters. When you walk away from the vehicle, it will automatically lock the doors after a few seconds.

2. Push Button Start/Stop

To start the engine, ensure the vehicle is in neutral (manual transmission) or park (automatic transmission) and press the brake pedal, then press the "ENGINE START STOP" button. To stop the engine, press the button again while the vehicle is stationary.

3. Remote Engine Start/Stop

To remotely start the engine, press and hold the designated button on the key fob. The engine will start, allowing you to pre-cool your car in summer or pre-warm it in winter. To stop the engine remotely, press the button again.

7. Touch Password Entry

Use the external touch keypad to enter a pre-programmed password to lock or unlock the vehicle, providing an alternative entry method without the key fob.

8. Valet Mode

Activate Valet Mode when leaving your vehicle with a valet or for service. This mode temporarily disables certain security features like remote start and alarm functions, while still allowing basic vehicle operation.

9. Emergency Override

In case of key fob loss or malfunction, the system includes an emergency override procedure to disarm the alarm and start the vehicle. Refer to the full installation manual for specific steps.

10. Advanced Settings

The system supports password revision and reset, parameter prolong settings, and various programming methods. These advanced configurations should only be performed by experienced installers or users familiar with car alarm systems.

Maintenance

• Key Fob Battery: The key fobs require CR2 batteries (2 included with the product). Replace batteries when the remote range decreases or the indicator light on the fob dims. It is advisable to keep spare batteries in your vehicle.
• System Check: Periodically test all functions of the alarm system to ensure proper operation.
• Cleaning: Keep the main control module, key fobs, and push button clean and free from dust and moisture.

Troubleshooting

• System Not Responding: Check key fob battery. Ensure the key fob is within range.
• Remote Start Failure: Verify vehicle is in park/neutral. Check if the hood is closed. Ensure the brake pedal is not pressed (unless required by specific vehicle wiring).
• PKE Not Working: Ensure PKE antennas are correctly installed and not obstructed. Check key fob battery.
• Alarm Triggers Randomly: Check shock sensor sensitivity settings. Inspect wiring for loose connections.
• Difficulty Starting Engine with Push Button: Ensure brake pedal is pressed. Check for any immobilizer issues (if a bypass module is installed, verify its function).

For complex issues, it is recommended to consult a professional car alarm installer or contact EASYGUARD customer support.
