Using Remote Start
This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for a
programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up the
engine, and adjust the interior temperature of the vehicle with the cli-
mate 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.
Important! (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the
vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle
with the key in the ignition.
Starting the Engine:
1. Make sure the parking brake is set. Press and release the remote
control button once* (or the amount of times the system has been
programmed to activate the remote start).
2. The engine will START and the parking lights will turn on. The
2-way remote will also emit tones.
The parking lights stay on as visual confirmation while the engine is
ON. The default runtime is 12 minutes and can be shortened or ex-
tended by the installer. If a remote start configuration issue prevents the
engine from starting, the parking lights flash a remote start fault report
to identify the fault. See "Remote Start Faults" on page 8.

* The factory setting is one press but this can also be programmed for
two presses (See your authorized Directed installer for the amount of
presses programmed).

Rapid Resume Logic
This Directed system stores its current state to non-volatile memory. If
power is lost and then reconnected the system recalls the stored state
from memory. This means if the unit is in Locked Mode and the battery
is disconnected for any reason, such as when servicing the vehicle,
when the battery is reconnected the unit maintains Locked Mode. This
applies to all states of the system.

Remote Pairing
Your system comes with two remote controls that are already paired to
the system. An additional two remote controls can be stored in the sys-
tem's memory (for a maximum of four). However, additional or replace-
ment remote controls need to paired to the system first before use. Use
the following procedure to pair an additional or replacement remote
control to the system.
To pair a new remote control to the system:
1. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
2. Within ten seconds, press/release once and then press and hold
the control button on the system’s control center. The status LED be-
gins flashing in a sequence of single flashes and the horn sounds
(if connected) to confirm the system is ready for pairing. Release
the control center button.
3. Press and release the button on the remote control twice and then,
press and hold on the third press. The transmit LED comes on solid,
continue holding the button until the transmit LED changes its pat-
tern. Release the button and the transmit LED begins flashing as an
indication that the remote control has entered pairing mode.
4. Press and release the button on the remote control.
5. The horn (if connected) sounds as a confirmation the system has
paired with the remote control and the 2-way remote control plays
tones confirming that it has paired with the system and will auto-
matically exit pairing mode. The 1-way remote does not emit any
confirmation tones. The remote will exit programming after 30 sec-
onds or to manually exit programming, press and hold the button
on the remote. The remote emits a tone confirming exit.
6. Turn the ignition off or wait 60 seconds for the system to exit the
pairing mode, the horn will sound as confirmation.

The learn routine Exits if any of the following occurs:
• The ignition is turned off.
• There is no activity for 60 seconds.
• The control button is pressed too many times.
Programming Options
Programming options control your system's normal operational set-up.
Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require
installation labor.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory
settings in bold.
•12, 24, or 60 minute run time. Your system can be programmed
to allow the vehicle to run for 12, 24, or 60 minutes when remote
started. Can be set up to minute increments by your installer.
•Parking lights flashing or constant. Your system can be pro-
grammed to flash or turn on the parking lights constantly during the
entire remote start operation.
•Ignition switch controlled door locking on or OFF. With this feature
on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition key is turned
on, and unlock when the key is turned off.
Important: The door lock option must be installed for this feature
to work.

Battery Information
The 1-way remote controls are powered by a single coin cell battery
(CR-2016), and the 2-way remote controls are powered by two coin
cell batteries (CR-2016) that can be purchased at most retailers. Oper-
ating range diminishes as battery charge depletes.
Low Battery Alert
When unlocking the vehicle using a remote control with a low battery
charge, the system provides a notification by emitting a third horn honk
output (if connected). If confirmation chirps are programmed off, the
system still emits one horn honk when unlocking. After performing a
command with the remote control, several beeps play to indicate the
battery/batteries need replacing. Once the alerts begin, the remote
control will remain operational for several days but the battery/batter-
ies should be replaced at the earliest opportunity or failure to control
the system may occur.
Battery Replacement
1. Unscrew the hardware on unit rear and remove from housing.
2. Use a small flat blade screwdriver and insert it into the slot located
along the bottom of the remote, near the key ring. Carefully pry
open the case.
3. Gently slide out the used battery/batteries to remove it from the
holding clip. Orient the new battery for the correct polarity and
insert into holding clip.
4. Realign the case parts and snap together by pressing firmly and
evenly on the front and back. Reinstall screw.
