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.  Therefore, never operate the 

system in an area that does not have adequate ventilation. 

The following precautions are the sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized Directed Electronics dealers should:

• 

Never use a test light or logic probe when installing this unit. Always use a multimeter. 

• 

Never operate the system in an enclosed 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 controls 

to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle.

• 

USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR 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 

REMAIN CLOSED AT ALL TIMES.

Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Except 

when performing the Safety Check outlined in this installation guide, (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 is responsible for having 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 Elec-

tronics dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start 

operation immediately and consult with the user to fix the problem immediately.

After the remote start module has been installed, test the remote start module in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this 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 properly reinstalled so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an 

authorized Directed Electronics dealer. 

OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. 

OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. 

IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED ELEC-

TRONICS WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

IMPORTANT!

 This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is 

dangerous and is contrary to its intended use.
