important information
Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start system. This
system allows you the convenience of remotely starting your vehi-
cle with the push of a button as well as other optional features.
Properly installed, this system will provide years of trouble-free
operation.
Please take the time to carefully read this User’s Guide in its
entirety prior to installing your system.
You can print additional or replacement copies of this manual
by accessing the Directed web site at
www.autocommand.com.
system maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your transmitter
is powered by a miniature 12-volt battery (type 23A) that will
last approximately one year under normal use. When the
battery begins to weaken, the operating range will be
reduced.
➜
important! If you are not comfortable working with
electronics or unfamiliar with the tools required,
please contact your local dealer for advice or ask to
have the remote start professionally installed to avoid
costly damages. Failure to properly install the remote
starter may result in property damage, personal injury,
or both.

any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesirable operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to

warning! safety first
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle
via a command signal from the remote control trans-
mitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an area
that does not have adequate ventilation. The following
precautions are the sole responsibility of the user;
however, the following recommendations should be made
to all users of this system:
1. Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially
enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage).
2. When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed
area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote
start system must be disabled by placing the system
into Valet Mode.
3. It is the user's sole responsibility to properly handle
and keep out of reach from children all remote
control units to assure that the system does not
unintentionally remote start the vehicle.
4. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE
DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT

LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY

REMAIN CLOSED.
Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended
mode of operation may result in property damage, personal
injury, or death. Except when performing the Safety Check
outlined in this user’s guide, (1) Never remotely start the
vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely
start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition.
After the remote start module has been installed, test the
remote start module in accordance with the Safety Check
outlined in this installation guide. If the vehicle starts

the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The
remote start module must be removed or properly rein-
stalled so that the vehicle does not start in gear. OPERA-
TION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE
