This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the fol-

lowing two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesirable operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-

lation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and,

if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or television, which can be determined by

turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for

help.

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device should be used

in hand-held, hand operated conﬁgurations only. The device and its antenna

must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s body,

except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance. This device

is designed to be used in a person’s hands and its operating conﬁgurations do

not support normal transmissions while it is carried in pockets or holsters next to

a person’s body.

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the device and its antenna

must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s body,

except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance.

This device complies with the Industry Canada Radio Standards Speciﬁcation

RSS 210. Its use is authorized only on a no-interference, no-protection basis; in

other words, this device must not be used if it is determined that it causes harm-

ful interference to services authorized by IC. In addition, the user of this device

must accept any radio interference that may be received, even if this interference

could affect the operation of the device.

Warning:

Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

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. 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 responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from children

all remote control devices to assure that the system does not unintentionally re-

mote start the vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DE-

TECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL

DOORS LEADING 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.

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 INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERAT-

ING 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 AU-

THORIZED Directed DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT 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, automatic transmission ve-

hicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle is

dangerous and contrary to the product's intended use.
