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 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 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.

system maintenance
This system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote
control battery replacement. The remote is powered by a 1.5V
AAA battery.
The Battery Level indicator has four level indicators that serve as
a visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a
low charge level that requires replacement, the remote control
will generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level
indicator will flash continuously.
Battery Replacement
Gently pull the end of the battery door away from the top of the
remote control then slide the door up to expose the battery and
remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote
control observing the correct polarity. When power is returned
