This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equipment Off and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.•

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which •

the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.•

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device should be used in hand-held, hand operated conﬁgurations only. The device and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s body, except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance. This device is designed to be used in a person’s hands and its operating conﬁgurations do not support normal transmissions while it is carried in pockets or holsters next to a persons’ body.

This device complies with the Industry Canada Radio Standards Speciﬁcation RSS 210. Its use is authorized only on a no-interference, no-protection basis; in other words, this device must not be used if it is determined that it causes harmful interference to services authorized by IC. In addition, the user of this device must accept any radio interference that may be received, even if this interference could affect the operation of the device.

Warning:

Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

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 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 toggle switch. 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.

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 installer or contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.

Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, be sure to:

Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing in front or •

behind the vehicle.

Only remote start on a ﬂat surface•

Have the parking brake fully engaged•

Warning! It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/ emergency brake properly functions. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or property damage. We recommend the owner have the parking/ emergency brake system inspected and adjusted by a qualiﬁed automotive shop biannually.

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.

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. OPERATING 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 AUTHORIZED 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 vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle must be in strict accordance with this guide.

This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft,or hard top with a manual transmission. Installation in such vehicles may pose certain risk.

➤ Out of range notiﬁcation

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 transmit indicator on the remote ﬂashes rapidly, the key LED turns on, and the remote emits the error tone sounds.

Since conditions will vary in different areas (i.e.: 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. Your remotes are powered by small coin cell lightweight 3-volt lithium batteries that last approximately one year under normal use. The 2-way remote uses two CR2016 cell batteries and the 1-way remote uses one CR2032 cell battery. When the battery begins to weaken, the operating range is reduced.

➤ Low battery indicator

When the batteries are low on the 2-way remote it emits two groups of beeps, the LED ﬂashes, and the system emits an additional honk when unlocking to let you know its time to change the battery. When the battery is low on the 1-way remote, the remote responds the same, but without the LED ﬂash.

Note: The Lock/Unlock conﬁrmations should be programmed On,and the optional horn honk installed, for the system to emit any additional honks during unlocking. Ask your authorized dealer if you have any questions.

➤ Remote control progamming

➤ Valet take-over

A U

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 want 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:

Before turning Off the engine, press and release the 1.

button on the

transmitter within 3 seconds. The parking lights ﬂash one time to conﬁrm that valet -take-over has been initiated Then wait a few seconds. Turn the ignition key to the Off position (The engine remains running).2. Exit the vehicle and lock the system with the remote. 3. The engine runs until the pre-programmed time elapses or a shut-down input is received.

Note: To enable valet take-over with a manual transmission, open the door when going into MTS mode. The parking lights ﬂash one-time to conﬁrm entry into valet takeover. After you exit the vehicle you can lock the system with the remote and the car remains running. If the vehicle shuts down when locking, then the unit did not enter the valet take-over mode.

Safety features

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____________________________

Diagnostics

The micorprocessor 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 input is active, you will hear one horn honk to indicate locking, and then a second horn honk to indicate Bypass Notiﬁcation.

Note: Bypass Notiﬁcation does not occur if the optional horn input is not installed or 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 notiﬁcation that the batteries in the remote are low and need to be replaced.

➤ Remote start

This system can provide you with information to indicate what the problem is when using the remote start.

Owner recognition

Owner recognition lets up to four users of the system have unique settings to 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 is still in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including lock or unlock.

Power saver mode

➤ System

Your system will automatically enter 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 ﬂashes 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 LE 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 shuts Off. If the system remains in Valet Mode, the LED comes back on the next time the ignition is turned On, and then Off.

➤ 2-way remote

Your Responder LE 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.
