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 users 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 ADJA-  
CENT 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 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. OPERAT-  
ING 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 AU-  
THORIZED 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 ve-  
hicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle is  
dangerous and contrary the product's intended use.

Note: In order for the ignition controlled door locks to work, the feature  
must be turned on in programming.  
Note: If the ignition is turned on while the vehicle is remote started the  
doors do 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.  
Remote Start  
This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for a  
programmable period of time. This makes it possible  
to warm up the engine, as well as adjust the interior  
temperature of the vehicle with the climate control sys-  
tem. If interior heating or cooling is desired, the climate  
controls must be preset, and the fan blower must be set  
to the desired level prior to remote starting the vehicle.  
Important! (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the  
vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle  
with the key in the ignition.  
To remote start the vehicle:  
1. Press the single button on the transmitter once.  
2. The remote responds with the remote start On tones and the green  
LED on the remote flashes once. The vehicle's parking lights turn  
ON constant to confirm remote start operation.  
3. Once the vehicle has started, it runs for the pre-programmed pe-  
riod of time (12, 24, or 60 minutes) or until a shutdown input is  
triggered. This can be set to minute increments by your installer.

To shut off the remote start:  
While the vehicle is remote started press and hold the button on the  
remote for 3 seconds. The remote plays the remote start shut off tones  
and the orange LED flashes 1 time. The vehicle shuts down from the  
remote start mode.  
Once the remote start is on, when you are ready to drive the vehicle:  
1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON  
(not the START) position.  
2. Press the brake pedal. The vehicle stays running and is ready to  
drive.  
Note: If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON position,  
the engine shuts down.  
While the vehicle is running during remote start operation, the system  
monitors the vehicle and automatically shuts down the engine if the  
system receives any of the following shut-down inputs:  
The brake pedal is pressed.  
The hood is opened.  
The shutdown toggle switch is put into the ON position.  
The pre-programmed run time has elapsed.  
The single button is pressed and held for 3 seconds.

Valet Take-Over  
The Valet Take-Over feature allows the vehicle to remain running  
after the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is  
useful for occasions when you wish to exit and lock the vehicle for  
short periods of time, but would like to leave the motor running  
and the climate controls on.  
To perform Valet Take-Over:  
1. Before turning off the engine, press and release the single button  
once. The remote responds with the remote start ON tones and the  
green LED on the remote flashes once. The vehicles parking lights  
turn on constant to confirm remote start operation.  
2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.  
(The engine stays running.)  
3. The engine runs until pre-programmed time elaps-  
es or a shut-down input is received. (See the pre-  
vious Remote Start section for a complete list of  
shut-down inputs.)  
Note: This feature does not work if the brake pedal is being pressed.
