Using your system
Active arming
You can activate or arm the system by pressing for one second.
When the system arms you will hear a short siren sound or chirp, and
the parking lights flash once. If the vehicle’s power door locks have
been connected to the system, the doors lock.
While the system is armed the status LED flashes once per second,
indicating that the system is active and protecting your vehicle. If you
hear a second chirp after arming and see the status LED flashing in
groups, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This extra chirp
is called Bypass Notifification.
Passive arming
The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically, this is
called passive arming. If the system is programmed for passive arm-
ing, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned
off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening
and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive-
arming countdown, the status LED flashes twice as fast as it does
when the system is armed. The siren chirps one time 20-seconds after
the last door has been closed to indicate that the system is about to
arm. At the 30-second point the parking lights flash to indicate that
the system is armed.
If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected trunk
or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless forced pas-
sive arming is programmed on. See Programming Options section of
this guide.) Additionally, if a door, hood or trunk is triggered during the
arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.

When the system is armed:
s Light impacts trigger the Warn Away® signal. When triggered,the
siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.
s Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence consists
of the siren sounding continuously and the parking lights flashing
for a pre-programmed period, which can range in duration from
1 to 180 seconds.
s If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirping the
siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren
output changes to a continuous blast. This progressive response
gives you time to disarm the system if you inadvertently open
the door while the system is armed, while still providing instant
response (even if the door is immediately closed).
s Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive response
as opening a door.
s The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from crank-
ing.

Multi-level security arming
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the security
system’s inputs or sensors are active, or are bypassed when the system
is armed. (See the Table of Zones section of this guide)
Press one time to arm the system, siren chirps one time. Pressing
again activates Multi-Level Security Arming.
Each time is pressed consecutively, a different security level is
selected, as described in the below table:
Press Siren chirps Zone bypassed
Twice Twice followed by 1 long chirp 2
3 times 3 times followed by 1 long chirp 4
4 times 4 times followed by 1 long chirp 2 & 4
5 times 5 times followed by 1 long chirp all zones except 5
Each press of the button ascends to the next security level.
Multi-Level Security Arming applies to a single arming cycle. Once
the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active
again.

Arming while driving
Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle.
Press on your transmitter for two seconds while the vehicle is run-
ning or while the ignition is on. The siren chirps once, and then once
more indicating that the ignition is on. The security system does not
respond to any input except the door triggers and the Failsafe® Starter
Kill (if installed) will not activate. The security system disarms automati-
cally when the ignition is turned off. The siren chirps twice and the
LED stops flashing.
Note: If programmed for the optional Vehicle Recovery System (VRS)
feature, arming with the transmitter activates the VRS feature. (See VRS
section of this guide.)
Disarming
To disarm the system, press . You will hear two chirps, and the
parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are connected to the
system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps either four or five times
when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is
called Tamper Alert.

High Security Disarm
High Security Disarm makes it possible to silence and reset the system
when it is triggering, without disarming. If the system is triggered, and
the siren sounds for longer than six seconds, pressing stops the
trigger and returns the system to an armed state. The system
does not disarm, but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling the
system should you want to disarm without visually checking the vehi-
cle. Pressing again after resetting the system, disarms the system.
Pressing during the first six seconds of the triggered sequence
disarms the system immediately. The six second timer is provided for
your convenience, in case you accidentally trigger the system.
Disarming without a transmitter
This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the remote
transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm
the system without a remote transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s
ignition key and know where the Valet button is located. Be sure to
check with the installer for the location and the number of presses of
the Valet button required to disarm the system.
To disarm the security system:
1. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
2. Press and release the Valet button the preset number of times
(one, the factory setting, to five times) within 15 seconds.
After five seconds the system disarms. If the system does not dis-
arm, you may have waited too long. Turn the ignition off and on
and try again.
Location of Valet Button_________________________________

12 © 2012 Directed. All rights reserved.
Number of Pulses______________________________________
The unit responds to one to five pulses of the Valet button when dis-
arming. Check with your installer to discuss how you want the system
configured.
Note: As a precaution, if programmed for passive arming the system
should be placed into Valet Mode until a remote is available.
Dome light control
Security only
The dome light activates for 30 - seconds after the system is disarmed.
Ignition controlled
The dome light activates for 30 - seconds after the ignition is turned
Off. (may be programed to On or Off, by the dealer installer)
Silent mode
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent Mode.
Press AUX for less than one second before arming or disarming, and
the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only.
If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, your dealer
can do this for you.
The Warn Away response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system
is armed using Silent Mode. This ensures that no chirps will be emitted
by the siren in an area you want chirp-free. The system is still capable
of triggering, but the Warn Away response is bypassed.

Panic mode
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention
by triggering the system with your remote.
Press for approximately two seconds, to enter Panic Mode. The
siren sounds and the parking lights flash for the programmed siren
duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press the .
Valet mode
You can prevent your security system from automatically arming and
triggering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the
vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the security system will
not arm, even with the remote transmitter, but all convenience functions
(door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally.
To enter or exit Valet Mode:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds.
The status LED lights solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and goes
out if you are exiting Valet Mode.
To enter or exit Valet Mode with the remote:
Open any vehicle door, and then quickly press the following buttons
in the sequence indicated.
4. Press .
5. Press and then press again. The in - vehicle status LED
lights solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and goes out if you
are exiting Valet Mode.

Nuisance prevention circuitry
Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC). It
prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin
switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers,
or airport noise.
For example, if the alarm triggers three times within a 60- minute
period and each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm,
NPC will interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger,
NPC ignores, or bypasses that sensor or switch (along with any other
sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60- minutes.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being by-
passed, the 60 - minute bypass period starts over. This ensures that a
sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed.
Doors are covered by NPC differently - if the alarm is triggered by
an open door for three full cycles, the doors are bypassed until the
trigger ceases.
NPC is On/Off programmable, except doors are always covered
whether on or off. See your dealer and the Programming section of
this guide for more information.
Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function. In order
to reset a bypassed zone, the same zone must not trigger for 60
minutes, or when ignition is turned on. If testing your system, it is
important to remember that the NPC programming can cause zones
to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard
when disarming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the
NPC memory, turn the ignition key on.

Auxiliary outputs
This system also supplies outputs that can control convenience options
such as remote control trunk release and window automation. Consult
your dealer for available options for your system.
Channel 2 Trunk release: When connected, pressing AUX for 1.5
seconds will remotely release the vehicle trunk lid.
Channel 3 auxiliary output: When connected, pressing and
will immediately activate this output to control an additional conve-
nience option.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly
monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it.
It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from
disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and
report any triggers that occurred during your absence.
Refer to the System Status Chirps and Table of Zones charts for diag-
nostic information.

16 © 2012 Directed. All rights reserved.
Arming diagnostics
If the system is armed while an input is active - door open, sensor
triggering - the unit chirps once when arming and then one more time
a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification.
Bypass Notification does not occur when using Silent Mode or if
chirps have been programmed OFF. The security system continually
ignores the zone that was active until the input stops. Three seconds
after the input stops, the system monitors that input normally.
For example, if your vehicle has interior light exit delay and you arm
it before the interior light goes out, you may hear Bypass Notification
chirps. Once the light shuts off, the doors are monitored normally.
Disarming diagnostics
Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when
disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps
are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that Nuisance Pre-
vention® Circuitry has bypassed that zone (see NPC section of this
guide).
The in-vehicle status LED indicates which zone was involved. (See
Table of Zones section of this guide.) The system retains this informa-
tion in its memory, and continues to chirp four or five times each time it
is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.
