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 DEI 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
DEI 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 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 DEI dealer.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE

8©2000 Directed Electronics, Inc.
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
DEI DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED
REMOTE START MODULE. DEI WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSI-
BLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.
Pressing for one second arms the system by activating the
optional starter kill and locking the doors (if the door locks are con-
nected). 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 optional starter
kill (if installed) will also prevent the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
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 optional 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 optional
starter kill is activated. If Passive Locking is programmed on, care
must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.
