➢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 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:

minutes) or until a shutdown input is triggered. This can be set to
minute increments by your installer.

➢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.

➢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.

Rapid Resume Logic
This Directed Electronics 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. This means if the unit is in Locked 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 Locked Mode.
This applies to all states of the system.
