Using Your System

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 vehicle 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 vehicle.

Important! (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the key in the ignition.

For instructions on how to activate/deactive your remote start system, refer to the SmartStart User's guide.

When you are ready to drive the vehicle:

1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON (not the START) position.

2. Press the brake pedal. The remote start system shuts down but the motor continues to run because the ignition has been turned on.

The vehicle now operates as usual.

Note: If the brake pedal is pressed before the key is in the ON position, the engine will shut down.

While the vehicle is running during remote start operation, the system monitors the vehicle and automatically shuts down the engine if the system receives any of the following Shut-down inputs:

• The brake pedal is pressed.

• The hood is opened.

• The shutdown toggle switch is put into the OFF position

• The pre-programmed run time has elapsed.

• The procedure to activate remote start is repeated.

Valet Take-Over

The Valet Take-Over feature allows the vehicle to remain running after the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is useful if you want to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods of time, but would like to leave the motor running and the climate controls on.

To perform Valet Take-Over:

1. Before turning off the engine, send Remote Start command from your SmartStart application.

2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position (The engine will stay running).

3. The engine will run until the pre-programmed time elapses or a shut-down input is received. (See the previous section for a complete list of shut-down inputs.)

Note: This feature will not work if the brake pedal is being pressed.

Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry

Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.

Note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is op er at ing the motor and the optional relay is installed.

Disabling the Remote Start system

This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally.

This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the OFF position. The switch can be installed in a location of your choice. Check with your installer for recommended locations.

Location Of Shutdown Switch_________________________

Programming options

Programming options control your system’s normal, operational set-up.

Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor. See your authorized Directed dealer for more details.

The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in bold.

• 12, 24, or 60 minute run time. Your system can be programmed to allow the vehicle to run for 12, 24, or 60 minutes when remote started. Can be set up to minute increments by your installer.

• Parking lights ﬂashing or constant. Your system can be programmed to ﬂash or turn on the parking lights constantly during the entire remote start operation.

Government Regulations

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following 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 installation. 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 harmful 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/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 assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA

ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJA-

CENT 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 OP-

ERATION. OPERATING 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 AUTHORIZED DIRECTED DEAL-

ER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START

MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR

INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

Caution

This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and contrary the product’s intended use.
