interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
•
•
Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for
help.
This device complies with the Industry Canada Radio Standards Specification

other words, this device must not be used if it is determined that it causes harm-
ful interference to services authorized by IC. In addition, the user of this device

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 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.

Using Your System
➢ Unlocking
Only after the vehicle is remotely started via the transmitter, press and
release the transmitter button for 1 second to unlock the vehicle’s doors.
The remote responds with 2 short beeps and the green LED on the re-
mote flashes once. The vehicle responds by flashing the parking lights
twice and honking the horn twice to confirm unlocking.

Before the vehicle is remotely started via the transmitter, press and
hold the transmitter button for 3 seconds to activate the car finder
function. The vehicle responds by flashing the parking lights 5 times
slowly. The remote responds with 1 short beep and the orange LED on

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.

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

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.

➢ 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.
