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 to the product's intended use.

Using Your System
➢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 ve-
hicle with the climate control system. 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:
Activate the auxiliary channel on your Keyless Entry or Security1.
system tied to your remote start system.
Important: See your authorized Directed Dealer for the
programmed number of times required, (1,2 or 3) to
activate the auxiliary channel. The factory setting is 1
pulse.
The parking lights flash to confirm remote start.2.
Once the vehicle has started, the parking lights come on solid. The3.
vehicle runs for the pre-programmed period of time (12, 24, or 60
minutes) or until a shutdown input is triggered. This can be set to
minute increments by your installer.

When you are ready to drive the vehicle:
Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON (not the START) posi-1.
tion.
Press the brake pedal. The remote start system shutdowns but the2.
motor continues to run because the ignition has been turned on.
The vehicle now operates as usual.
Note:
If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON position,
the engine will shut 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 OFF position•
The pre-programmed run time has elapsed.•
The procedure to activate remote start is repeated.•
➢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 if you
want 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:
Before turning off the engine, press the auxiliary channel on your1.
Keyless Entry or Security system. (See your authorized Directed
Dealer for the programmed number of times required to activate
remote start.)
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. (The engine will stay2.
running.)
The engine will run until the pre-programmed time elapses or a3.
shut-down input is received. (See page 9 for complete list of shut-
down inputs.)
Note:
This feature will not work if the brake pedal is being pressed.
➢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 optional 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.
