Warning! Safety first  
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:  
Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be  
performed by an authorized Directed dealer.  
When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal  
from the remote control remote control. 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 serviced, the remote start system must be disabled using the installed  
toggle switch. It is the users sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out  
of reach from children all remote control remote controls 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 ADJA-  
CENT 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.  
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 Directed  
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 Directed dealer to fix the problem.

iv  
 
After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized 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 Directed dealer.  
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN  
GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERAT-  
ING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT  
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY  
CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AU-  
THORIZED Directed DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED  
REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR  
PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.  
This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission ve-  
hicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle is

under normal use. When the battery weakens, the LED on the remote  
will dim and operating range will be reduced.

Ignition Controlled Door Locks  
If power door locks have been connected to your system, the vehicle's doors will  
lock three seconds after the ignition has been turned On and unlock when the  
ignition is turned Off.  
Important: In order for the ignition controlled door locks to work the  
feature must be programmed On.  
If the ignition is turned on when the vehicle is remote started the doors  
will not lock until the remote start shuts off. To avoid being locked out  
of the vehicle, do not turn the ignition on until you are ready to drive  
the vehicle.

Remote Start  
This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for a  
programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up the  
engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the vehicle with  
the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling is desired, the  
climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower must be set to the  
desired level prior to remote starting the vehicle.  
Important! (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the  
vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle  
with the key in the ignition.  
To remote start the vehicle:  
1. Press and release the single button on the remote control once.  
2. The parking lights flash to confirm remote start.  
3. Once the vehicle has started, the parking lights come on solid. The  
vehicle runs for the pre-programmed period of time (12, 24, or 60  
minutes) or until a shutdown input is triggered. This can be set to  
minute increments by your installer.  
When you are ready to drive the vehicle:  
1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON (not the START) posi-  
tion.  
2. Press the brake pedal. The remote start system shuts down but the  
motor continues to run because the ignition has been turned on.  
The vehicle now operates as usual.  
Note: If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON position,  
the engine will shut down.

While the vehicle is running during remote start operation, the system  
will monitor the vehicle and will automatically shut down the engine if  
the system receives any of the following shut-down inputs:  
Brake pedal is pressed.  
Hood is opened.  
Shutdown toggle switch is put into the ON position.  
Pre-programmed run time has elapsed.  
Remote control button is pressed and held for 3 seconds.  
Valet Take-Over  
The Valet Take-Over feature allows the vehicle to remain running after  
the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is useful for  
occasions when you wish to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods  
of time, but would like to leave the motor running and the climate  
controls on.  
To perform Valet Take-Over:  
1. Before turning off the engine, press and release the remote control  
button for 1 second.  
2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. (The engine will stay  
running.)  
3. The engine will run until the pre-programmed time elapses or a  
shut-down input is received. (See the previous Remote Start section  
for a complete list of shut-down inputs.)  
Note: This feature will not work if the brake pedal is being pressed.

Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry  
Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry  
prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start  
position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to  
the start position during remote start operation.  
Note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is  
operating the motor and the optional relay is installed.  
Disabling the Remote Start System  
This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be temporarily  
disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally.  
This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an  
enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle  
switch to the OFF position. The switch can be installed in a location of  
your choice. Check with your installer for recommended locations.

Rapid Resume Logic  
This Directed Electronics system will store its current state to non-volatile  
memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the  
stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Locked Mode and  
the battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car,  
when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Locked Mode.  
This applies to all states of the system.

Programming Options  
Programming options control your system's normal operational set-up.  
Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require  
installation labor.  
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory  
settings in bold  
.

to allow the vehicle to run for 12, 24, or 60 minutes when remote  
started. Can be set up to minute increments by your installer.  
Parking lights flashing or constant. Your system can be pro-  
grammed to flash or turn on the parking lights constantly during the  
entire remote start operation.  
Ignition switch controlled door locking on or OFF. With this feature  
on, the doors will lock 3 seconds after the ignition key is turned on,  
and unlock when the key is turned off.
