WARNING!
It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure that their vehicle is parked in
a safe and responsible manner.
1. a) Manual transmission: When leaving the vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility
to ensure that the gearshift lever is in the NEUTRAL position and the parking
brake is engaged in order to avoid accidents upon remote starting.
b) Automatic transmission: When leaving the vehicle, it is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that the gearshift lever is in “Park” in order to avoid
accidents upon remote starting.
(Note: Make sure that the automatic vehicle cannot start in "Drive".)
2. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the remote starter is disabled or put
into valet mode before servicing.
The Transmitter’s Battery:
Depending on the usage, the transmitter’s battery can last between 3 to 6 months. When the battery is low, the
transmitter will emit two “beeps” in a repetitive cycle. At that point the batteries should be replaced. We
recommend keeping a spare battery somewhere handy such as inside the glove compartment.

IntroductionwithSmartStart™
This is a state-of-the-art remote car starter system. The system is packed with advanced features
such as priority access to the driver’s door (commodity features), the Safe Start children safety
feature and SmartStart™.
SmartStart™ is a groundbreaking technology that enables your remote starter features to be
accessed by your smartphone. Features include keyless entry, trunk release, panic, remote
start/stop toggle and alarm notifications
1
. Note: SmartStart™ must be professionally installed. For
more information, see your nearest authorised Directed Canada dealer.
With many advanced functions, this product will satisfy any one of your expectations from high-end
commodity and security systems, without neglecting any standard feature commonly offered by
entry-level starters.
VehiclePresets
Heater&HeatedSeat
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as heated seats (if
equipped) should not be left on HIGH. It is recommended to leave the settings on LOW or
MEDIUM instead.
WindshieldWipers,Radio&Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wipers and / or headlights circuits to become
energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the
windshield wipers and headlights switches are OFF. Leaving the headlights switch ON on certain
types of vehicles could cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shutdown, resulting in a
dead battery.
UsingtheRemoteControl
Your remote car starter is equipped with a 6-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate
two independent vehicles equipped with a remote car starter.
LCDRemoteFunctions
The transmitter offers several command-confirmation and timer features. This section explains
some of the key functions available. The next section gives a summary of the button combinations
used to access the functions.
