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 Ungo
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

8©2008 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
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 Ungo 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
Ungo 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 perform-
ing 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 Ungo
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 UNGO DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT
THE INSTALLED remote start MODULE. UNGO WILL NOT BE
HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR
REINSTALLATION COSTS.
Locking
Pressing

for one second locks the doors. The parking lights
flash once to confirm that the doors are locked. If the horn honk
feature is connected, the horn honks one time.
Pressing the lock button also activates the optional starter kill/
anti grind relay.
Unlocking
To unlock the doors press

for one second. The parking lights
flash twice to confirm that the doors are unlocked. If connected
the horn honks two times.
Overriding the optional starter kill
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 button is located. Be sure

10 ©2008 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
to check with the installer for the location of the Valet button.
To disable the starter kill without a remote:
If your remote transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually
override the starter kill. To do this, you must have the vehicle's igni-
tion key and know where the Valet button is located. Be sure to
check with the installer for the location of the Valet button.
To override the starter kill, turn the
ignition on and press the Valet but-
ton within 10 seconds. 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 button: ____________________
Ignition controlled door locks
If power door locks have been
connected to your system, the
vehicle's door will lock three
seconds after the ignition has
been turned on and unlock when the
ignition is turned off.
NOTE: If the ignition is turned on while the vehicle is remote started the
doors will not lock until the remote start shuts off. To avoid being locked
out of the vehicle, do not turn the ignition on until you are ready to drive
the vehicle.

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:
1. Press on the transmitter once within 3 seconds.
2. The parking lights flash to confirm remote start operation.
3. Once the vehicle has started, it will run for the pre-program-
med period of time (12, 24, or 60 minutes) or until a shut-
down input is triggered. This can be set to minute increments
by your installer.
When you are ready to drive the vehicle:
1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON
(not the START) position.
2. Press the brake pedal.
NOTE: If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON position,
the engine will shut down.

12 ©2008 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
While the vehicle is running during remote start operation, the
system will monitor the vehicle and will automatically shut 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 ON position.
■The pre-programmed run time has elapsed.
■The button is pressed once within 3 seconds.
Car finder
Car finder allows you to locate your vehicle, by having the system
flash the parking lights on your vehicle..
To activate:
Press and release the and

buttons at the same time. The
lights flash 5 times slowly allowing you to locate your vehicle.
Timer Mode
By pressing the remote

and

buttons the parking lights
will flash 4 times and then start the vehicle and run for the set
duration. The remote start can be shut off by the transmitter by
pressing the remote start button . The timer mode remains
set, but if any shut down zones or the ignition becomes active the

13
©2008 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
timer mode is cancelled.
1. Press Timer mode buttons.
2. The vehicle will confirm with 4 parking light flashes.
3. The car starts and runs for the programmed duration, unless
shut down by the remote start button . If shut down with
the remote start button the system will remain in timer
mode.
4. The vehicle starts every 3 hours until canceled by the brake,
hood, or neutral safety shut-down wires.
IMPORTANT! Timer Mode should be used only in open areas. Never start
and run the vehicle in an enclosed space such as a garage or carport.
To exit timer mode, when the vehicle is not running turn the igni-
tion switch on. The parking lights flash 4 times, indicating timer
mode has been exited.
Starter anti-grind security
Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind cir-
cuitry 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 opera-
tion.
Note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start sys-
tem is operating the motor and the optional Failsafe®Starter Kill
relay is installed.

before returning to their normal output and the defogger output will
activate as programmed.
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.

set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may
require installation labor.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the
factory settings in Bold.

grammed to allow the vehicle to run for 12, 24, or 60 minutes
when remote started. Can be set up to minute increments by
your installer.
