Using Your System
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 Electronics 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.
■
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
Electronics 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
Electronics 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
Electronics 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
ELECTRONICS DEALER TO
REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE
INSTALLED REMOTE START
MODULE. DIRECTED
ELECTRONICS WILL NOT
BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR
PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR
REINSTALLATION COSTS.
Back to top
Locking
Pressing
for one second arms the
system by activating the starter
kill and locking the
doors (if the door locks
are connected). The horn
will honk (if connected)
and the parking lights
will flash
once to confirm arming
of the system. While the
system is armed,
the status LED will
flash once per second.
The Failsafe® Starter
Kill will also prevent
the vehicle’s starter
from cranking.
The
system can also be
programmed to arm the
optional Failsafe® Starter
Kill automatically
(called Passive Mode).
If the system has been
programmed for Passive
Mode, the Failsafe®
Starter Kill will
automatically activate
30 seconds after the
ignition has been turned
off. After the ignition
has been turned off, the
status LED will flash rapidly to
indicate that the system
is in Passive Mode.
If
Passive Mode has been
programmed on, then it
is also possible to
program the system for
Passive Locking. With
Passive Locking, the
vehicle doors lock
automatically at the
same time that the Failsafe®
Starter Kill is
activated. If Passive
Locking is programmed on, care
must be taken to prevent
the keys from being
locked in the vehicle.
NOTE:
For Passive Mode to be
effective, the Failsafe®
Starter Kill relay must be installed.
Back to top
Unlocking
Pressing
for one second disarms
the system and unlocks
the doors
(if connected). The horn
will honk twice (if
connected) and the
parking lights will
flash twice to confirm
disarming of the system. The
optional Failsafe®
Starter Kill will be
deactivated. The status LED will
turn off, unless the
system is programmed for
Passive Mode. In
Passive Mode, the status
LED will flash rapidly
when the system
is disarmed. This
indicates that the
system will re-engage the
starter kill and re-lock
the doors (if Passive
Locking has been programmed) in 30
seconds unless the
ignition is turned on.
Back to top
Disabling the Starter Kill Without a Transmitter
If your
remote transmitter is
lost or damaged, you can
manually override
the starter kill. To do
this, you must have the
vehicle's ignition
key and know where the
Valet switch is located.
Be sure to check
with the installer for
the location of the
Valet switch. To
override the starter
kill, turn the
ignition on and press
the Valet
switch within 10
seconds. The
status LED will stop
flashing and the
vehicle should start. If
it does not start, you
may have waited
too long; turn the
ignition off and repeat
the process.
LOCATION OF VALET
SWITCH _____________________________
Back to top
Valet Mode
You can
prevent your system from
automatically activating
the Failsafe®
Starter Kill and locking
the doors by using Valet
Mode. This is
very useful when washing
the vehicle or having it
serviced. In Valet
Mode, the starter kill
cannot be activated,
even with the
transmitter, but all
convenience functions

Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry
Whenever the vehicle
is remote started, advanced
anti-grind circuitry prevents the starter
from engaging, even if the key is
turned to the start
position. This prevents damage to
the starter motor if the key is turned to
the start position during remote
start operation.
NOTE:
Anti-grind circuitry only works when
the remote start system is operating the motor and the
Failsafe®
Starter Kill relay is installed.

Disabling the Remote Start System
This feature allows
your system's remote start unit to
be temporarily disabled to prevent
the vehicle from being remote
started accidentally. This
feature is useful if the vehicle is
being serviced or stored in an
enclosed area. To disable the remote
start, move the shutdown toggle
switch to the OFF position. The
switch can be installed in a
location of your choice. Check with
your installer for recommended
locations.

Rapid Resume Logic
This Directed
Electronics system will store its
current state to nonvolatile memory. If power is
lost and then reconnected the system will recall the
stored state from memory. This means
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 will still be in Valet
Mode. This applies to all states of
the system including arm, disarm, VRS®,
and Valet Mode.

Glossary of Terms
Control Unit:
The “brain” of your system. Usually
hidden underneath the dash area of the
vehicle. It houses the
microprocessor which monitors your
vehicle and controls all system
functions.
Failsafe®
Starter Kill:
An automatic switch controlled by
your system which prevents the
vehicle’s starter from cranking
whenever the system is armed.
The vehicle is never prevented from
cranking when the system is
disarmed, in Valet Mode, or if the
starter kill switch itself fails.
Your system has feature-ready
circuitry for the starter kill,
however installation may require
additional labor.
LED:
A red light mounted at a
discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used
to indicate the status of your
system.
Transmitter:
A hand-held, remote control which
operates the various functions of your system.
Valet Switch:
A small push button mounted at a
discretionary location inside the
vehicle. It is used to override the
Failsafe® Starter Kill when a
transmitter is lost or damaged, or
to enter or exit Valet Mode.
