Reset and deletion

cedure.
1. Turn the ignition to the ON position (The heavy gauge pink wire must be connected).
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Control (Valet switch)button: 2 times if you want to delete re-
motes, 3 times to reset features or 4 times to reset Virtual Tach. These features are described next.
Delete remotes: This feature erases all remotes from the system memory. This is useful in cases when
a remote is lost or stolen. You can program new remote controls to the system, see Remote Control
Programming section of this guide.
Note: This does not reset the programmed features of the system or reset the Virtual Tach setting.
Reset Features: This resets all the system features to the factory default settings.

4. While holding the Control button, press the

Neutral safety switch interface

Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch, but instead have a mechanical neutral safety
switch that interrupts the starter wire when the vehicle is in any drive gear. The remote start must be interfaced
before the neutral safety switch , to provide protection from starting in gear. However, some vehicles combine
the column shift and the neutral safety switch into one mechanical part, and in this case you will not be able
to interface the remote start before the neutral safety switch.
Important: You must complete the remote start system installation before doing the follow-
ing test. Ensure that the remote start system is functioning normally. This includes connect-
ing to the brake as a shut-down.

Testing the neutral safety switch

1. Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.
2. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote start shut-downs active.
3. Set the emergency brake.
4. Turn the key to the "run" position, this releases the shifter.
5. Place the car in drive (D).
6. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if the
starter engages.
7. Activate the remote start system.
8. If the starter engages, immediately depress the brake to shut the remote start system down. If the
starter does not engage, no additional safety system is required.
If the starter engages and the vehicle is a General Motors product or Dodge Dakota pickup, refer to
www.directechs.com for Document 1008. Check the Resource tab, for an alternative shut-down method
which prevents the starter from engaging.
If the vehicle is not a General Motors product or a Dodge Dakota pickup, please call Directed Technical Sup-
port at 1-800-477-1382 for an alternative shut-down method.
