Warning! Safety
first~---------~---~---~-~-----~~---~---~-----
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 dealer.
When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control trans-
mitter. 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 respon-
sibility 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. WE RECOMMEND THE USER INSTALL A CARBON
MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEAD-
ING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE
AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions are the sole responsibility of the user.
Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differently than those with automatic transmission
because you must leave your car in neutral. You must read this Owner's Guide to familiarize yourself with
the proper procedures regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions, ask your
installer or contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.
Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, please note and follow these instructions:
Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing in front or behind the vehicle.
WARNING! Only remote start on a flat surface
Have the parking brake fully engaged
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/emergency brake properly functions.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury or property damage. We recommend the owner have the park-
ing/emergency brake system inspected and adjusted by a qualified automotive shop biannually.
Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage,
personal injury, or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely
start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle
periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should
be performed by an authorized Directed dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product
installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the
authorized Directed dealer to fix the problem.
After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized dealer to have him or her test the
remote start module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the 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. All installations must be performed by an authorized Directed
dealer.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS IN-
TENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS
MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE
OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED DIRECTED DEALER TO REPAIR OR DIS-
CONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY
FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.
This product is designed for fuel injected vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle
must be in strict accordance with this guide.
This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft, or hard top with a manual transmission.
Installation in such vehicles may pose certain risk.
