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.
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

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

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.
