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 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 precau-
tions 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 vehi-
cle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the
keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safe-
ty 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

■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 prod-
uct 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
Electronics dealer. OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MOD-
ULE 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 IMME-
DIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSIS-
TANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED DIRECTED ELECTRONICS DEALER
TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START
MODULE. DIRECTED ELECTRONICS WILL NOT BE HELD
RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLA-
TION COSTS.
Pressing for one second arms the system by activating the
starter kill and locking the doors (if the door locks are connected).
The horn will honk (if connected) and the parking lights will flash
once to confirm arming of the system. While the system is armed,
the status LED will flash once per second. The Failsafe®Starter Kill
(if installed) will also prevent the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
Arming

10 ©2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
The system can also be programmed to arm the optional Failsafe®
Starter Kill automatically (called Passive Mode). If the system has
been programmed for Passive Mode, the Failsafe®Starter Kill will
automatically activate 30 seconds after the ignition has been
turned off. After the ignition has been turned off, the status LED
will flash rapidly to indicate that the system is in Passive Mode.
If Passive Mode has been programmed on, then it is also possible
to program the system for Passive Locking. With Passive Locking,
the vehicle doors lock automatically at the same time that the
Failsafe®Starter Kill is activated. If Passive Locking is programmed
on, care must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked in the
vehicle.
NOTE: For Passive Mode to be effective, the Failsafe®Starter Kill relay
must be installed.
Pressing for one second disarms the system and unlocks the
doors (if connected). The horn will honk twice (if connected) and
the parking lights will flash twice to confirm disarming of the sys-
tem. The optional Failsafe®Starter Kill will be deactivated. The sta-
tus LED will turn off, unless the system is programmed for Passive
Mode. In Passive Mode, the status LED will flash rapidly when the
system is disarmed. This indicates that the system will re-engage
the starter kill and re-lock the doors (if Passive Locking has been
programmed) in 30 seconds unless the ignition is turned on.
Disarming

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
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 button within 10 seconds.
The status LED will stop flashing
and 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_____________________________
You can prevent your system from automatically activating the
Failsafe®Starter Kill and locking the doors by using Valet Mode.
This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced.
In Valet Mode, the starter kill cannot be activated, even with the
transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, remote
start, etc.) will continue to work normally.
