engine, and adjust the interior temperature of the vehicle with the cli-
mate 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.

Pairing a Remote Control
Your system comes with the remote controls already programmed, how-
ever, if you are replacing or adding additional remote controls, they
must be paired to the system prior to operating the system. To pair the
remote, you need to know where the Valet button is located. If the horn
honk is not connected, the main unit LED needs to be visible for visual
confirmation. If you cannot locate or access the main unit, it is recom-
mended that you visit your authorized dealer to pair the remote. The
system is capable of accepting up to four remote controls.
1. Turn key to the ON position
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Valet button once.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and hold the Valet button. The LED on
the module flashes one time and the horn (if connected) honks to
confirm entry into remote pairing. Do not release the Valet button.
4. Press the

button on the remote control. The horn honks to con-
firm the remote has been paired.
5. Release the Valet button.
6. Turn the key to OFF position. The horn sounds one long honk (if
connected) to confirm that remote pairing has exited.
The programming routine exits if any of the following occurs:
• The ignition is turned off.
• There is no activity for 30 seconds.
• The Valet button is pressed too many times.

Programming Options
Feature options will control your system's normal operation. Some op-
tions may require additional parts and installation labor. The following
is a list of the programmable options with the factory settings in bold.
• 12 minute to 60 minute runtime. Your system can be programmed
to allow the vehicle to run for up to 60 minutes when remote
started. This can be set up to minute increments by your installer.
• Parking lights flashing or constant. Your system can be programmed
to flash the parking lights or have them come on constantly during
the remote start operation.
• Ignition controlled door locking ON or OFF. With this feature on,
the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition key is turned on,
and will unlock when the ignition key is turned off.
Important: The door lock option must be installed for the ignition
controlled door lock feature to work.
Rapid Resume Logic
This Directed system stores its current state to non-volatile memory. If the
power to the system is disconnected and then reconnected, the system
recalls the stored state from memory.

14 © 2016 Directed. All rights reserved.
Battery Information
The remote control* is powered by two 3V, CR2016 batteries. When
the battery begins to weaken, operating range is reduced and the LED
on the remote control dims.
* Some remote controls are powered using a single coin cell battery
(CR-2032), so please verify which type and quantity is used before
replacing.
Replacing the Battery
1. Use a small flat blade (flat-head) screwdriver and insert it into the
slot located along the bottom of the remote, near the key ring.
Carefully pry open the case.
2. Remove the old batteries from the holding clip. Orient the new
batteries for the correct polarity and insert into the holding clip.
3. Reposition the case parts, then snap together by pressing firmly
and evenly on the front and back.
Battery Disposal
Directed cares about the environment. If you need to dispose
of the battery, please do so in accordance with your munici-
pal requirements for battery disposal.

may cause undesirable operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television, which can be determined by
turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient 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
RSS 210. Its use is authorized only on a no-interference, no-protection basis; in
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
Please read the safety warnings below before proceeding. Improper use of the
product may be dangerous or illegal.
Installation
Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed
by an authorized Directed dealer. If you have any questions, ask your retailer or contact
Directed directly at 1-800-753-0600.
Remote Start Capable
When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from
the remote control. 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 "Disabling the Remote Start System/Garage Mode" procedure in
this guide. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from
children all remote control devices to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote
start the vehicle. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER INSTALL A CARBON MONOX-
IDE DETECTOR IN THE LIVING AREAS ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEAD-
ING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED
VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST BE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. 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 ve-
hicle 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
