could affect the operation of the device.
Warning:
Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
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. 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 devices 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.
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 x 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, automatic transmission vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle is
dangerous and contrary to the product's intended use.

space such as a garage or carport.
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

➢ 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.
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.
Owner Recognition is a revolutionary feature avail able only from Directed. Using a Directed Bitwriter®, hand-held programming tool, your dealer can program
many of the system settings. It is possible to program different settings for each
trans mit ter used with the system. Then, when ev er a specific transmitter is used,
the system recalls the settings assigned to that transmitter. Owner Rec og ni tion
lets up to four users of the system have different settings that meet their specific
needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your vehicle, one for each
user.
Important: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Bitwriter® and
the necessary soft ware. Check with your dealer for more information.
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 dis con nect ed for any reason, such as servicing the car,
when the battery is re con nect ed the unit will still be in Locked Mode.
This applies to all states of the system.
