The receiver uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any specific
transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver
function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with the

Using Your System
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
Electronics dealer.
■ When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via
a command signal from the remote control transmitter.
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 transmitters to

are the sole responsibility of the user.
These precautions
■ 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 vehi-
cle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the
keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safe-
ty 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
Electronics dealer in accordance with the Safety Check out-
lined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in
gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult
with the authorized Directed Electronics 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 prod-
uct 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

the vehicle.
Remote Start
This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for
a programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up
the engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the vehi-
cle with the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling
is desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower
must be set to the desired level prior to remote starting the
