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 transceiver. 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 chil-

dren all transceiver to assure that the system does not unin-

tentionally remote start the vehicle. TTHHEEUUSSEERRMMUUSSTT

➤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 instal-

lations must be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.

system maintenance

This system needs no specific maintenance beyond transceiver

battery replacement. The transceiver is powered by a 1.5V AAA

battery.

The Battery Level indicator has three level indicators that serve as

a visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a

low charge level that requires replacement, the transceiver will

generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level indi-

cator will flash continuously.

Battery Replacement

Gently pull the battery cover release tab, then slide the door

down to expose the battery and remove the expired battery. Place

the new battery into the transceiver observing the correct

polarity. When power is returned the transceiver will light all

icons in the LCD and generate all beeper tones once.
