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 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 ADJA-
CENT 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 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 Directed
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 Directed dealer to x 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 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 dealer.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN
GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERAT-
ING 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 AU-
THORIZED Directed DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED
REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR
PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.
This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission ve-
hicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle is
