The system can also be programmed to arm the optional Failsafe
®
Starter Kill automatically (called Passive Mode). If the system has
been programmed for Passive Mode, the Failsafe
®
Starter Kill will
automatically activate 30 seconds after the ignition has been
turned off. After the ignition has been turned off, the status LED
will flash rapidly to indicate that the system is in Passive Mode.
If Passive Mode has been programmed on, then it is also possible
to program the system for Passive Locking. With Passive Locking,
the vehicle doors lock automatically at the same time that the Failsafe
®
Starter Kill is activated. If Passive Locking is programmed on, care
must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.
unlocking/disarming
Pressing for one second disarms the system and unlocks the
doors (if connected). The horn will honk twice (if connected) and
the parking lights will flash twice to confirm disarming of the
system. The optional Failsafe
®
Starter Kill will be deactivated. The
status LED will turn off, unless the system is programmed for
Passive Mode. In Passive Mode, the status LED will flash rapidly
when the system is disarmed. This indicates that the system will
re-engage the starter kill and re-lock the doors (if Passive Locking
has been programmed) in 30 seconds unless the ignition is turned
on.
note: For Passive Mode to be effective, the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay must be installed.

This system has several important safety features to ensure
proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to
the engine or its components.
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.
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.
Location of Shutdown Switch____________________________
note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is operating the motor and the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay is installed.
17
© 2002 directed electronics, inc.
over and under rev protection
The system monitors the engine speed and will automatically
shut the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the
programmed levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor
due to fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may
cause the engine to race.
shut down inputs
This security system uses several inputs to shut down the remote
start operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain
inputs are active. The two most important are hood and brake
inputs. The hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as
well as shut it down, any time the hood is opened. The brake
pedal will shut down the motor at any time during remote start
operation, as well as preventing the remote start from activating
while it is being pressed.
note: The system uses a wire connected to the vehicle to sense engine speed. This wire must be connected in order for over and under rev protection to work.

The receiver and transmitters each use mathematical formulas
called algorithms to change their codes each time the transmitter
is used. This technology has been developed to increase the secu-
rity of the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes
should be. This helps to keep the transmitter "in sync" with the
control unit even if you use the remote control out of range of
the vehicle. However, if the transmitter has been pressed many
times out of range of the vehicle, or if the battery has been
removed, it may get out of sync with the control unit and fail to
operate the system. To re-sync the remote control simply press
of the transmitter several times within range of the vehicle.
The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the trans-
mitters normally.

Owner Recognition is a feature available exclusively from Directed.
Using the Directed Bitwriter, a hand-held programming tool, your
dealer can program many of the system settings. The programmer
makes it possible to program different settings for each transmitter
that is used with the system. Then, whenever a specific transmitter
is used, the system will recall the settings assigned to that trans-
mitter. Owner Recognition 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.

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. This means 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 arm, disarm, VRS
®
, and Valet Mode.
note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed with­out a Directed Bitwriter and the necessary software. Check with your dealer for more information.

Control Unit:
The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under
the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that
monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions.
LED:
A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the
vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.
Starter Interrupt:
An automatic switch controlled by your system
which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the
system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking
when the system is disarmed, in Valet Mode, or if the starter
interrupt switch itself fails. Your system has feature-ready
circuitry for the starter interrupt, however installation may
require additional labor.
Transmitter:
A hand-held, remote control which operates the
various functions of your system.
Valet Switch:
A small push button mounted at a discretionary
location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the starter inter-
rupt when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit
Valet Mode.

Listed below are some of the many expansion options available
for use with your system. Some options may require additional
parts and/or labor. Please consult with your dealer for a complete
list of options available for use with this system.
Domelight Supervision:
The domelight will illuminate for 30
seconds each time the system is disarmed using the remote. This
is useful for seeing inside the vehicle at night prior to entering it.
Power Door Lock Control:
Your system is capable of controlling
many types of power door lock systems; however, some door lock
systems may require extra parts. Consult with your dealer to
determine which type of locks your vehicle uses. If power locks
are connected, the system can be programmed to lock the doors
automatically 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned off.
The system can also be programmed to lock the doors when the
ignition is turned on and to unlock them when the ignition is
turned off.
Power Trunk Release:
The system’s auxiliary output can be
programmed to operate a factory power release for the vehicle's
trunk or hatch. If the factory release is not power-activated,
Directed
®
's 522T trunk-release solenoid can often be added.
Power Window Control:
Power window control is provided with
Directed
®
's 529T or 530T systems. The 529T system will roll up
two windows automatically when the system is armed, or roll

two windows down by using the transmitter. The 530T will roll
two windows both up and down. The 530T also provides one
touch switch operation.
Progressive Door Unlocking:
For added security, your system can
be configured to unlock the driver’s door only, leaving the
passenger doors locked. Pressing the unlock button an additional
time will unlock the passenger doors. This option requires addi-
tional parts and labor.
