Government regulations
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesirable operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-
tion. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television,
which can be determined by turning the equipment Off and ON, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to•
which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.•
To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device should be used
in hand-held, hand operated configurations only. The device and its antenna
must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s body,
except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance. This device
is designed to be used in a person’s hands and its operating configurations do
not support normal transmissions while it is carried in pockets or holsters next to
a persons’ body.

iv © 2009 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
This device complies with the Industry Canada Radio Standards Specification
RSS 210. Its use is authorized only on a no-interference, no-protection basis;
in other words, this device must not be used if it is determined that it causes
harmful interference to services authorized by IC. In addition, the user of this
device must accept any radio interference that may be received, even if this
interference could affect the operation of the device.
Warning:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

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 IN-
STALL 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 precautions
are the sole responsibility of the user.
Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differently than those
with automatic transmission because you must leave your car in neutral. You
must read this Owner’s Guide to familiarize yourself with the proper proce-
dures regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions,
ask your installer or contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.
Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, be sure to:
Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing in front or•
behind the vehicle.
Only remote start on a flat surface•
Have the parking brake fully engaged•
Warning! It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/emergency
brake properly functions. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or prop-
erty damage. We recommend the owner have the parking/emergency brake
system inspected and adjusted by a qualified automotive shop biannually.

vi © 2009 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
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 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 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 IMMEDI-
ATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN
AUTHORIZED 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 vehicles only. Use of this product in a
standard transmission vehicle must be in strict accordance with this guide.
This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft, or hard
top with a manual transmission. Installation in such vehicles may pose certain
risk.

Out of range notification
If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is beyond the range
of the vehicle to receive the command, the remote will respond with an out-of
range notification. If this occurs, the transmit indicator on the remote flashes
rapidly, the key LED turns on, and the remote emits the error tone sounds.
Since conditions will vary in different areas (i.e.: Weather, RF interference, etc)
range may be affected and require you to be closer to the vehicle for success-
ful transmission.
System maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. The 2- way remote uses two
CR2016 cell batteries and the1- way remote uses one CR2032 cell battery.
When the battery begins to weaken, the operating range is reduced.
