What Must You Do to Keep the Warranty in Effect?

It is the duty of the purchaser to maintain the vehicle and all equipment. You should comply with all of the cautions, precautions, maintenance responsibilities outlined in the IDS Owner’s Manual. 
The warranty is void if the cautions, precautions, mandatory maintenance schedule detailed in the Owner’s Manual are not followed.
The requirements for maintenance are as follows: During the first twelve months from the date your car is delivered to you, you must present your vehicle to IDS or a certified IDS dealer for inspection and service every four months. After the first year, you must get your vehicle inspected and serviced every six months. Just as the manufacturer of your vehicle requires that you change your oil periodically to keep your vehicle operating, it is critical that you bring your vehicle in for preventive maintenance. If you do not, the warranty will be void. Your safety and security are a priority to IDS and servicing your vehicle is an important piece of keeping your vehicle in good working order. 
Remember to maintain your vehicle and any other conversion work that has been done to your vehicle according to the applicable warranties.
 

How Do You Get Service?

Transport the vehicle in which the equipment is installed to the nearest IDS Dealer. To find the location of the nearest IDS dealer authorized to provide repairs or maintenance contact IDS Sales Department at 713-864-1460. The IDS dealer must then contact IDS to obtain Return Authorization before removing any equipment from your vehicle and shipping it to IDS. Once the return authorization has been issued a technician trained in the installation and maintenance of IDS equipment may remove the equipment from your vehicle and ship it to IDS.
If necessary, use all reasonable means to protect the equipment from further damage once any problem becomes apparent until it is delivered.

Shipping the equipment will be at your expense. IDS will not accept any equipment unless they have issued the Return Authorization.
To be effective, IDS must receive written notice of any defect in the equipment within the applicable warranty period.
 

Does My IDS Dealer Have any Responsibilities?
