Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device. ➜ Caution This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmis- sion vehicles only.
  • Page 10 Button The disarming function is controlled by pressing this button for one second. Button Silent Mode™ and an optional auxiliary function are controlled by this button. (Silent Mode works by pressing this button for less than one second before arming or disarming. An optional auxiliary function, such as trunk release, can be controlled by pressing this button for 1.5 seconds.) The auxiliary output controls __________________________.
  • Page 11 Buttons The remote start timer mode is controlled by pressing these buttons simultaneously. The 2-way remote produces a melody and the clock indicator appears on the remote's LCD. Once in timer mode the system remote starts every 24-hours. Repeat this procedure to turn Timer Mode off.

    Note: If the ignition is on, the temperature check clockmode will not work. Buttons While the system is armed, press simulataneously to enter temperature auto statt mode. The vehicle is automatically restarted if the interior temperature drops below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

    product installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be removed or the installer must properly reinstall the remote start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear.
  • Page 15: Passive Arming

    the status LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification. ➜ Passive arming The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and closing a door.
  • Page 16: Multi-Level Security Arming

    ➤ If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirping the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This progressive response gives you time to disarm the system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing instant re- sponse (even if the door is immediately closed).
  • Page 17: Arming While Driving

    ➤ Press a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the ignition, are now bypassed. Note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a sin- gle arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active again.
  • Page 18: Disarming

    ➜ Disarming To disarm the security system, press chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also unlock. The siren chirping either four or five times when disarming indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics Section of this guide.
  • Page 19: Silent Mode

    and know where the Valet with your installer at the time of installation for both the location and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the ON posi- tion. Press the Valet button the preset number of times (one to five times) within 15 seconds.
  • Page 20: Panic Mode

    Note: The Warn Away® response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode. This ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an area you want chirp-free. The system is still fully capable of triggering.
  • Page 21: Remote Start

    The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and it will go out if you are exiting Valet Mode. To enter or exit Valet Mode using the transmitter: 1. Open any vehicle door. 2. Press 3. Press 4.
  • Page 22 3. In gasoline vehicles, the engine starts 4 seconds after the parking lights flash. In diesel vehicles, the engine starts when the WAIT-TO-START indicator on the vehicle's dash goes out or the programmed delay has ended. 4. Once the vehicle has started, it runs for the pre-programmed period of time (either 12, 24, or 60 minutes - see Programming Options section of this guide) or until a shut- down input is triggered.

    ➤ The shutdown toggle switch is put into the OFF position. ➤ The pre-programmed run time (12, 24, or 60 minutes) has elapsed. ➤ Transmitter buttons ➜ Rear defogger To turn the rear defogger output OFF: 1. Simultaneously press & release the on the remote control.
  • Page 24: Valet Take-Over

    Note: If the temperature is greater than 55° F at the time of remote start activation, the rear defogger will not acti- vate for that start. ➜ Valet take-over The Valet Take-Over feature allows the vehicle to remain running after the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is useful for occasions when you wish to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods of time, but would like to leave the motor running and the climate controls on.

    down the turbo after you have left the vehicle. To activate: Park the vehicle and set parking brake. Remove your foot from the brake pedal and leave the engine running. Press and release the time. The lights will flash to indicate the remote start has entered short run turbo mode.
  • Page 26: Disabling The Remote Start System

    circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation. ➜ Disabling the remote start system This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally.
  • Page 27: Nuisance Prevention Circuitry

    ➜ Nuisance prevention Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention (NPC). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Example If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC will interpret those triggers as false alarms.
  • Page 28: Arming Diagnostics

    Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.
  • Page 29: Disarming Diagnostics

    ➜ Disarming diagnostics Extra chirps that are heard when disarming the system are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming the system, then the security system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are heard when disarming the system, a zone was trig- gered so many times that the Nuisance Protection bypassed that zone.
  • Page 30: Table Of Zones

    ➜ Table of zones A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input. Standard input assignments are listed in the following table, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches that have been installed. ZONE (Number of DESCRIPTION...

    Note: Your system stores the last two triggered zones in memory. If your system has been triggered but the LED has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can still recall the last two zones that were triggered. Contact your dealer for details.

Using a Directed Bitwriter ming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings. The programmer makes it possible to program different settings for each transmitter that is used with the system. Then, whenev- er a specific transmitter is used, the system will recall the settings assigned to that transmitter.
