Congratulations on the purchase of your keyless entry system.
Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed by an
authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by anyone
other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers
are provided with a preprinted dealer certificate to verify that
they are authorized.
By carefully reading this Owner's Guide prior to using your
system, you will maximize the use of this system and its features.
You can print additional or replacement copies of this manual by
accessing the Directed web site at www.directed.com.
system maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is
powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will
last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery
begins to weaken, operating range will be reduced and the LED
on the remote will dim.
your warranty
Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and
returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty
will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.
Make sure you receive the warranty registration from your dealer.
It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects
that the product was installed by an authorized dealer.

The receiver uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any specific
transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver
function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with the
Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an
authorized dealer. The transmitter buttons indicated in all of the
instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard
Configuration transmitter.

locking/arming
Pressing for one second arms the system by activating the
starter kill (optional) and locking the doors (if connected). The
horn will honk (if connected and in audible mode) and the
parking lights will flash once to confirm arming of the system.
While the system is armed, the status LED will flash once per
second. The Failsafe®Starter Kill (if installed) will also prevent the
vehicle’s starter from cranking.
The system can also be programmed to arm the optional Failsafe®
Starter Kill automatically (called Passive Mode). If the system has
been programmed for Passive Mode, the Failsafe®Starter Kill will
automatically activate 30 seconds after the ignition has been
turned off. After the ignition has been turned off, the status LED
will flash rapidly to indicate that the system is in Passive Mode.
If Passive Mode has been programmed on, then it is also possible
to program the system for Passive Locking. With Passive Locking,
the vehicle doors lock automatically at the same time that the Failsafe®
Starter Kill is activated. If Passive Locking is programmed on, care
must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.
note: For Passive Mode to be effective, the Failsafe®
Starter Kill relay must be installed.
note: Manually locking the vehicle does not arm the sys-
tem; it will only lock the doors.

unlocking/disarming
Pressing for one second disarms the system and unlocks the
doors (if connected). The horn will honk twice (if connected and
in audible mode) and the parking lights will flash twice to confirm
disarming of the system. The optional Failsafe®Starter Kill will be
deactivated. The status LED will turn off, unless the system is pro-
grammed for Passive Mode. In Passive Mode, the status LED will
flash rapidly when the system is disarmed. This indicates that the
system will re-engage the starter kill and re-lock the doors (if
Passive Locking has been programmed) in 30 seconds unless the
ignition is turned on.
disabling the system without a transmitter
If your remote transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually
override the system. To do this, you must have the vehicle's igni-
tion key and know where the Valet®switch is located. Be sure to
check with the installer for the location of the Valet®switch.
➜
note: If the system has been armed with the remote trans-
mitter, you must use the transmitter or the Valet switch
to disarm the system and deactivate the starter kill.
Manually unlocking the vehicle does not disarm the sys-
tem; it will only unlock the doors.
➜

To disarm the security system,
turn the ignition to the ON posi-
tion. Press and release the Valet
switch within 10 seconds. The
status LED will stop flashing and
the vehicle should start. If the
vehicle does not start, you may
have waited too long; turn the
ignition off and repeat the
process.
Location of Valet Button_________________________________
audible mode
To temporarily turn on the arm or disarm horn honk(s), simply
press for less than one second before arming or disarming,
and the confirmation honk(s) will be present for that one oper-
ation only.
valet mode
You can prevent your system from automatically activating the
Failsafe®Starter Kill (optional, not included) and locking the
doors by using Valet®Mode. This is very useful when washing
the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet®Mode, the starter kill
cannot be activated, even with the transmitter, but all conve-
nience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to
work normally.

To enter or exit Valet®Mode:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Press and release the Valet®
switch within 10 seconds.
The status LED will light steadily if you are entering Valet®
Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet®Mode.
panic mode
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract
attention by triggering the system with your transmitter. Just
press for two seconds to enter Panic Mode. In Panic Mode,
the horn will honk and the parking lights will flash for 30
seconds. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press on the
transmitter again.

This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile
memory. If power is lost and then reconnected, the system will
recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in
note: In order for Panic Mode to be effective, the vehicle’s
horn (or optional siren) as well as the vehicle's parking
lights must be connected.

still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system
including arm, disarm, and panic mode.

Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under
the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that
monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions.
LED: A light mounted at a discretionary location inside the
vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.
Starter Interrupt: An automatic switch controlled by your system
which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the
system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking
when the system is disarmed, in Valet Mode, or if the starter
interrupt switch itself fails. Your system has feature-ready
circuitry for the starter interrupt, however installation may
require additional labor.
Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control which operates the
various functions of your system.
Valet Switch: A small button mounted at a discretionary location
inside the vehicle. It is used to override the system when a trans-
mitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet Mode.

Listed below are some of the many expansion options available
for use with your system. Some options may require additional
parts and/or labor. Please consult with your dealer for a complete
list of options available for use with this system.
Domelight Supervision: The domelight will illuminate for 30
seconds each time the system is disarmed using the remote. This
is useful for seeing inside the vehicle at night prior to entering it.
Power Door Lock Control: Your system is capable of controlling
many types of power door lock systems; however, some door lock
systems may require extra parts. Consult with your dealer to
determine which type of locks your vehicle uses. If power locks
are connected, the system can be programmed to lock the doors
automatically 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned off.
The system can also be programmed to lock the doors when the
ignition is turned on and to unlock them when the ignition is
turned off.
Power Trunk Release: The system’s auxiliary output can be
programmed to operate a factory power release for the vehicle's
trunk or hatch. If the factory release is not power-activated,
Directed®'s 522T trunk-release solenoid can often be added.

15

Power Window Control: Power window control is provided with
Directed®'s 529T or 530T systems. The 529T system will roll up
two windows automatically when the system is armed, or roll
two windows down by using the transmitter. The 530T will roll
two windows both up and down. The 530T also provides one
touch switch operation.
Progressive Door Unlocking: For added security, your system can
be configured to unlock the driver’s door only, leaving the
passenger doors locked. Pressing the unlock button an additional
time will unlock the passenger doors. This option requires addi-
tional parts and labor.
