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
Electronics 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. TTHHEEUUSSEERRMMUUSSTTIINNSSTTAALLLLAACCAARRBBOONNMMOONNOOXXIIDDEEDDEETTEECC--

a programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up
the engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the vehi-
cle 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.
This remote start system can be activated by an auxiliary channel
of your keyless entry or security system.
Your system is operated using channel______________________.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!(1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in
gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the key in the ignition.

Timer Mode automatically starts the engine and runs it for a pre-
programmed time period, every three hours for a total of six oper-
ation cycles. This feature helps to ensure that your engine will
