Pairing a Remote Control

Your system comes with the remote controls already programmed, how-
ever, if you are replacing or adding additional remote controls, they  
must be paired to the system prior to operating the system. To pair the 
remote, you need to know where the Valet button is located. If the horn 
honk is not connected, the main unit LED needs to be visible for visual 
confirmation. If you cannot locate or access the main unit, it is recom-
mended that you visit your authorized dealer to pair the remote. The 
system is capable of accepting up to four remote controls.

Battery Information

The remote control* is powered by two 3V, CR2016 batteries. When 
the battery begins to weaken, operating range is reduced and the LED 
on the remote control dims.

(CR-2032), so please verify which type and quantity is used before 
replacing.  

Replacing the Battery

insert

 it into the 

slot located along the bottom of the remote, near the key ring.  
Carefully 

pry

 open the case.

2. 

Remove

 the old batteries from the holding clip. 

Orient

 the new 

batteries for the correct polarity and 

insert

 into the holding clip. 

3. 

Reposition

 the case parts, then snap together by 

pressing

 firmly 

and evenly on the front and back.

Government Regulations

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.

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

Please read the safety warnings below before proceeding. Improper use of the 
product may be dangerous or illegal.

Installation

Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed 
by an authorized Directed dealer. If you have any questions, ask your retailer or contact 
Directed directly at 1-800-753-0600.

Remote Start Capable

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 "Disabling the Remote Start System/Garage Mode" procedure in 
this guide. 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 remote 
start the vehicle. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER INSTALL A CARBON MONOX-
IDE DETECTOR IN THE LIVING AREAS ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEAD-
ING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED 
VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST BE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. 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 ve-
hicle 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. OPERATING THE REMOTE 
START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO UNEXPECT-
EDLY LUNGE FORWARD RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL 
INJURY INCLUDING DEATH. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT 
AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED 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 vehicles only. Installing it in 
a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use..

Interference

All radio devices are subject to interference which could affect proper performance.

Upgrades

Any upgrades to this product must be performed by an authorized Directed dealer. Do not 
attempt to perform any unauthorized modifications to this product.

Water/Heat Resistance

This product is not designed to be water and/or heat-resistant. Please take care to keep
