• The vehicle's engine will shut off.

6.3. Security Feature

For safety and security, the engine will automatically shut off if a door is opened after a remote start. This is a normal function of the system.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EASYGUARD remote starter, please review the following common problems and solutions:

• System Not Functioning Properly:
  Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correctly installed according to the diagram. Verify that both factory key fobs are working correctly and that one is properly placed within the bypass module as per installation instructions.
• Engine Shuts Off After Remote Start When Door is Opened:
  This is a built-in security feature and is normal operation. It prevents unauthorized driving of the vehicle after a remote start.
• Limited Remote Range:
  The remote start system operates using the range of your existing factory key fob. Obstacles, weather conditions, and battery strength of your key fob can affect the effective range.
• Battery Drain Concerns:
  Ensure that all modules are correctly installed and that the vehicle's computer and monitor completely shut down after the remote stop function is used. Incorrect installation or persistent activity from vehicle systems can lead to battery drain. Consult a professional installer to verify the installation.
