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 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.

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 installer 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.

OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING 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 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.

This product is designed for fuel injected vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle must be in strict accordance with this guide.

This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft, or hard top with a manual transmission. Installation in such vehicles may pose certain risk.

If this occurs, the transmit indicator on the remote flashes rapidly, the key LED turns on, and the remote emits the error tone sounds.

Since conditions will vary in different areas (i.e.: Weather, RF interference, etc) range may be affected and require you to be closer to the vehicle for successful transmission.

Back to top

System maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remotes are powered by small coin cell lightweight 3-volt lithium batteries that last approximately one year under normal use. The 2-way remote uses two CR2016 cell batteries and the 1-way remote uses one CR2032 cell battery. When the battery begins to weaken, the operating range is reduced.

Back to top

Low battery indicator
When the batteries are low on the 2-way remote it emits two groups of beeps, the LED flashes, and the system emits an additional honk when unlocking to let you know its time to change the battery. When the battery is low on the 1-way remote, the remote responds the same, but without the LED flash.

Note: The Lock/Unlock confirmations should be programmed On, and the optional horn honk installed, for the system to emit any additional honks during unlocking. Ask your authorized dealer if you have any questions.

Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of the system is constantly monitoring the switches that are connected to the main unit.

Locking If the system is locked at the same time that the door input is active, you will hear one horn honk to indicate locking, and then a second horn honk to indicate Bypass Notification. Note: Bypass Notification does not occur if the optional horn input is not installed or when the system is in Silent Mode or if the notification honks have been programmed Off by the installer.

Unlocking Extra honks when unlocking the system is a notification that the batteries in the remote are low and need to be replaced.

Important: The optional horn honk feature must be installed.

➤ Remote start
This system can provide you with information to indicate what the problem is when using the remote start. When the remote start is activated and fails to engage, count the parking light flashes to determine the problem. The parking lights will flash between 5 - 8 times to indicate what caused the no start situation.

• 5 flashes: brake wire is active
• 6 flashes: hood pin is active
• 7 flashes: manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized
• 8 flashes: neutral safety wire has no ground or the remote start defeat toggle switch is off.

Keep a record of the number of flashes, to assist your installer when taking the vehicle in for service.

Rapid resume logic
This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory.

For example, if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit is still in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including lock or unlock.

Power saver mode

System
Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while locked or in Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no operation has been performed. This lowers the current draw on the vehicle’s battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the following conditions:

Power Saver when the system is locked: After the system has been Locked for 24 hours the LED flashes at half its normal rate, decreasing the system’s current draw.

Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet Mode the Status LED on the Responder LE control center illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used (ignition is not turned on) for a one-hour period while the system is in Valet Mode, the status LED shuts Off. If the system remains in Valet Mode, the LED comes back on the next time the ignition is turned On, and then Off.
