Using Your System
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 ve-
hicle 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.
For instructions on how to activate/deactive your remote start system,
refer to the SmartStart User's guide.
When you are ready to drive the vehicle:
1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON (not the START) posi-
tion.
2. Press the brake pedal. The remote start system shuts down but the
motor continues to run because the ignition has been turned on.
The vehicle now operates as usual.
Note: If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON position,
the engine will shut down.
While the vehicle is running during remote start operation, the system
monitors the vehicle and automatically shuts 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 OFF position
• The pre-programmed run time has elapsed.
• The procedure to activate remote start is repeated.
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 if you
want to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods of time, but would like
to leave the motor running and the climate controls on.
To perform Valet Take-Over:
1. Before turning off the engine, send Remote Start command from
your SmartStart application.
2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position (The engine will stay
running).
3. The engine will run until the pre-programmed time elapses or a
shut-down input is received. (See the previous section for a com-
plete list of shut-down inputs.)
Note: This feature will not work if the brake pedal is being pressed.
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
op er at ing 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.

Programming options
Programming options control your system’s normal, operational set-up.
Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require
installation labor. See your authorized Directed dealer for more details.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory
settings in bold.
• 12, 24, or 60 minute run time. Your system can be programmed
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.
• Parking lights flashing or constant. Your system can be pro-
grammed to flash or turn on the parking lights constantly during the
entire remote start operation.

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 Directed dealer.
When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a com-
mand signal from the remote control/transmitter. Therefore, never oper-
ate the system in an enclosed area or partially enclosed area without
ventilation (such as a garage). When parking in an enclosed or par-
tially 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 ADJA-
CENT 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 op-
eration 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 Directed dealer in accor-
dance 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 Directed dealer to fix the problem.
