Precautions for the Advanced Start features:

• Park the vehicle in a well ventilated area away from windows
and doors that lead into inhabited spaces.

• Lock the vehicle, the engine will not start unless the doors are
locked.

• Only one Advanced start feature can be enabled at any given
time.

• For manual transmission vehicles MTS mode must be enabled
before Timer Start or Smart Start can be activated.

• Timer Start or Smart Start mode automatically exits when the ve­hicle is unlocked.

Timer Start operation
Activation begins a countdown timer as set by the installer (de­fault 3 hours). When the timer expires the engine starts. When
the Remote start runtime expires the engine shuts off, and the
countdown timer restarts. This will repeat as many times as set
by the installer (default 6 starts). Timer Start is exited after the
final start.

Smart Start operation

Smart Start uses the settings for Timer Start in addition to tempera­ture and battery level to automatically start the engine. Activation
begins the countdown timer. When the timer expires the vehicle
interior temperature and battery level is checked and, if the Tem­perature is above 100°F, below 0°F, or the battery level is be­low 10.5V, the engine will start. When the Remote start runtime
expires the engine shuts off, and the countdown timer restarts.

activates itself.

Anytime before the system locks you can re-enter the vehicle or

open the trunk to load or unload items and, after closing passive lock­ing resumes.

To stay secure in case of accidental unlocking the system, if a

door is not opened within 30 seconds the system reactivates itself and
locks the doors.

Auto Re-locking*

point of entry to stop the re-lock until the next unlock by remote.

Onetime Bypass*

Turn the ignition On for one to three seconds and then Off. The horn
honks once to confirm one-time bypass is enabled.
One-time bypass can be used to temporarily bypass the Passive
ing operation for one cycle. It also bypasses the comfort closure and
auxiliary channel outputs if programmed to activate when locking.

© 2013 Directed. All rights reserved.

The remote controls are powered by 1 coin cell battery (CR-2032)
that can be purchased at most retailers. When the battery begins to
weaken, the operating range will be reduced. The information and
precautions in this section can help maximize your battery’s life and
usage in providing you with many years of trouble free operation.

Low Battery Alerts

When unlocking the system using a remote with a low battery the
horn emits one additional honk as an alert. If confirmation honks are
programmed off, the system will still emit one honk as an alert when
unlocking. The optional horn honk feature must be installed.

Battery Replacement

1. If present, remove the small screw on the back of the remote.

2. Use a small flat blade screwdriver and insert it into the slot locat­ed along the bottom of the remote, near the key ring. Carefully
pry open the case.

3. Gently slide out the used battery to remove it from the holding
clip. Orient the new battery for the correct polarity and insert
into holding clip.

4. Reposition case parts, and snap together by pressing firmly and
evenly on the front and back. Reinstall screw (if applicable).

Warning! Safety First

Please read the safety warnings below before proceeding. Improper
use of the product may be dangerous or illegal.

Installation

Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be
performed by an authorized Directed dealer. If you have any questions, ask
your retailer or contact Directed directly at 1-800-753-0600.

Remote Start Capable

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 menu wheel. 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.

Manual Transmission Vehicles

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 authorized Directed dealer 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.
