Using 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, and 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.
Starting the Engine:
1. Make sure the parking brake is set. Press and release the remote
control button once* (or the amount of times the system has been
programmed to activate the remote start).
2. The parking lights flash to confirm that the vehicle is attempting to
start. In gasoline vehicles the engine will start 4 seconds after the
parking lights flash, in diesel vehicles the engine starts after the
WAIT-TO-START timer has expired.
3. Once the vehicle has started, it will run for the pre- pro gram med
period of time (12, 24, or 60 minutes) or until a shutdown input
is trig gered.
* The factory setting is one press but this can also be programmed for
two or three presses maximum (See your authorized Directed installer
for the amount of presses programmed).

Remote Programming
Your system comes with the remote controls already programmed, however if you are replacing or adding additional remote controls, they
must be programmed to the system prior to operating the system. To
program the remote, you need to know where the valet button is located. If the horn honk is not connected, the main unit LED needs to be
visible for visual confirmation. If you cannot locate or access the main
unit, it is recommended that you visit your authorized dealer for remote
programming. The system is capable of accepting up to four remote
controls.
1. Turn key to the ON position
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release Valet button one time.

Rapid Resume Logic
This Directed system stores its current state to non-volatile memory. If the
power to the system is disconnected and then reconnected, the system
recalls the stored state from memory.
Battery Information
The remote control is powered by a single coin cell battery (CR-2032)
that can be purchased at most retailers. The operating range diminishes
as the battery charge depletes.
Replacing the Battery
1. Use a small flat blade screw driver and insert it into the slot located
along the bottom of the remote, near the key ring. Carefully pry
open the case.
2. Gently remove the circuit board from the remote case by pushing
in on the button, then remove the battery from the holding clip.
3. Orient the new battery for the correct polarity and insert into the
holding clip.
4. Reposition the circuit board and case parts, then snap together by
pressing firmly and evenly on the front and back.
Battery Disposal
Directed cares about the environment. If you need to dispose
of the battery, please do so in accordance with your municipal requirements for battery disposal or return to Directed.

Warning! Safety first
Please read the safety warnings below before proceeding. Improper use
of the product may be dangerous or illegal.
Installation
Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be
performed by an authorized Directed dealer. If you have any questions, ask your
retailer or contact Directed directly at 1-800-753-0600.
Remote Start Capable
When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal
from the remote control transmitter. 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
menu wheel. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of
reach from children all remote control transmitters 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 ADJACENT
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.
Manual Transmission Vehicles
Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differently than those
with automatic transmission because you must leave your car in neutral. You
must read this Owner’s Guide to familiarize yourself with the proper procedures
regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions, ask
your authorized Directed dealer or contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.

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.
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.
