This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission
vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehi-
cle is dangerous and contrary the product's intended use.

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--

of operation may result in property damage, personal injury,
or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehi-
cle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the
