Important information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art remote start system. Due
to the complexity of this system, it must be installed by an authorized dealer only.
Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the
warranty. All dealers are provided with a preprinted dealer certificate to verify
authorization.
By carefully reading this Owner’s Guide prior to using your system, you
will maximize the use of this system and its features. You can print ad-
ditional or replacement copies of this manual by accessing our web site at
www.directed.com.
➤ Your warranty
Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and returned within 10
days of purchase. Your product warranty will not be validated if your warranty
registration is not returned. Make sure you receive the warranty registration from
your dealer. It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects

➤ Replacement remote controls
Your system comes with one Responder LC remote control (P/N 7752X) and
one companion remote control (P/N 7652X). If additional remotes are desired,
please see your authorized dealer or visit www.directedstore.com to order.
If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is beyond the range
of the vehicle to receive the command, the remote will respond with an out-of
range notification. If this occurs, the out-of-range icon displays on the LCD and
the remote emits an error tones.
Since conditions will vary in different areas (ie: Weather, RF interference, etc)
range may be affected and require you to be closer to the vehicle for successful
transmission.
➤ System maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. The 2-way remote contains a
non-replaceable rechargeable battery. When the battery begins to weaken, the
operating range will be reduced.
Your 1-way remote is powered by small coin cell lightweight 3-volt lithium bat-
tery that will last approximately one year under normal use. The 1-way remote
uses one CR2032 cell battery.
➤ Charging the Battery

Details:
Smart start uses temperature and voltage settings to determine when the
vehicle should start and run. If any changes to temperature or voltage are made
using the Bitwriter programming tool Smart start activation is affected.
The Smart Start function works similar to the Timer mode. The system must be
in the locked mode. Using the system default settings, it has a maximum of 6
starting cycles ,and checks the voltage/cabin temperature every 3 hours to see
if the thresholds have been met.
If thresholds have been met then the remote start will start the vehicle and run for
the pre programmed time. It counts the first start as one successful start, leaving
5 start cycles.
If the threshold has not been met then the system will not start the vehicle, and 6
start cycles are left. The unit continues to check threshold levels every 3 hours.

This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of
the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or its components.
➤ Optional 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 Failsafe® Starter Kill relay is installed.
➤ Disabling the remote start system
This feature allows the remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to prevent the
vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful when 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.
Check with your installer for the location of the shutdown switch.
Location of Shutdown Switch____________________________
The microprocessor at the heart of the system is constantly monitoring the switches that are connected to the main unit.
➤ Locking
If the system is locked at the same time that the door is active, you will hear
one horn honk to indicate locking and a second horn honk to indicate Bypass
Notification.
For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you lock the
system before the interior light turns Off, you may hear a second Bypass Notification honk.
Note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Silent Mode or
if the notification honks have been programmed Off by the installer.
➤ Unlocking
Extra honks when unlocking the system is a notication that the batteries in the
This system can provide you with information to indicate what the problem is
when using the remote start. When the remote start is activated and fails to
engage, count the parking light flashes to determine the problem. The parking
lights will flash between 5 - 8 times to indicate what caused the no start situation.
• 5 ashes: brake wire is active
• 6 ashes: hood pin is active
• 7 ashes: manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized
• 8 ashes: neutral safety wire has no ground or the remote start
defeat toggle switch is off.
Keep a record of the number of flashes, to assist your installer when taking the
vehicle in for service.
Owner recognition lets up to four users of the system have unique settings that
meet their specific needs. It is almost like having four separate systems in your
vehicle, one for each user. This feature is only available to authorized dealers
using the Bitwriter or Bitwriter 2 program tool.
Rapid resume logic
This Directed 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.
For example, if the unit is in Valet 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 Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including lock or
unlock.
Power saver mode
➤ System
Your system automatically enters Power Saver Mode while locked or in Valet
Mode, after a period of time in which no operation has been performed. This
lowers the current draw on the vehicle’s battery. Power Saver Mode takes over
under the following conditions:
Power Saver when the system is locked: After the system has been Locked for
24 hours the LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing the system’s current draw.
Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet Mode the Status LED
on the Responder LC control center illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used
(ignition is not turned on) for a one-hour period while the system is in Valet Mode,
the status LED will shut Off. If the system remains in Valet Mode, the LED will
come back on the next time the ignition is turned on and then back Off.
Your Responder LC 2way remote control has a feature called remote power save
mode. When programmed On under remote options, the remote conserves
power by disabling the paging function if unused for more than 72 hours.
Pressing any button on the remote restores the paging function.
The default setting is On. See Remote control programming section of this guide
or ask your dealer for details on how to program.

Factory Alarm Trigger Notification:
This system has an input that can be connected to the horn circuit in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has a factory alarm and is controlled by this system (for lock/unlock), the remote reports when the factory alarm has been triggered. When the
factory alarm is triggered the remote screen displays the alarm icon and "alarm
door open" is displayed in the text area.
Note: The remote must be in range and the system locked to receive the report.
The system does not report that the factory alarm has been triggered when
unlocking with the remote.
Power Trunk Release: The accessory output of the system can operate a factory
power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. Sometimes an optional relay is
required. If the factory release is not power-activated, Directed®’s 522T trunk
release solenoid can often be added.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with
the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate power windows, and can roll
them up automatically when the system is Locked, roll them down, or both up
and down.
2-Way Remote: A hand-held, remote control which operates the various func-
tions of your system and receives feedback and pages from the system.
Control Center: The control center contains the system’s radio-frequency antenna,
the valet and override switch, and the Status LED. For maximum remote-control
range, the Control Center is usually located at the top of the windshield, centered near the rear-view mirror.
Control Module: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash
area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and
controls all of the system's functions.
Failsafe® Starter Kill (if equipped): An automatic switch controlled by the system
which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system is locked.
The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the system is unlocked in
Valet® Mode, or should the starter kill switch fail. Your system is ready for this
feature, however installation of this feature may require additional labor.
Input: Any physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by exist-
ing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
In-vehicle status LED: A light used to indicate the status of your system. It is
located on your systems control center.
Valet Button: A small push button switch located on your systems control center. It
is used to override the starter interrupt when a 2-way remote is lost or damaged,
Move the shutdown toggle switch to the Off position.
