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 users 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 IN-  
STALL 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 AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions  
are the sole responsibility of the user.  
Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differently than those  
with automatic transmission because you must leave your car in neutral. You  
must read this Owners Guide to familiarize yourself with the proper proce-  
dures regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions,  
ask your installer or contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.  
Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, be sure to:  
Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing in front or  
behind the vehicle.  
Only remote start on a flat surface  
Have the parking brake fully engaged  
Warning! It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/emergency  
brake properly functions. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or prop-  
erty damage. We recommend the owner have the parking/emergency brake  
system inspected and adjusted by a qualified automotive shop biannually.

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 IMMEDI-  
ATELY 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 vehicles only. Use of this product in a  
standard transmission vehicle must be in strict accordance with this guide.  
This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft, or hard  
top with a manual transmission. Installation in such vehicles may pose certain  
risk.

System maintenance  
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remotes are powered by  
small coin cell lightweight 3-volt lithium batteries that last approximately one  
year under normal use. The remote uses one CR2032 cell battery. When the  
battery begins to weaken, the operating range is reduced.  
Low battery indicator  
When the batteries are low on the remote the vehicle system emits an addi-  
tional honk when unlocking to let you know its time to change the battery.  
Note: The optional horn honk should be installed, for the system to emit any  
additional honks during unlocking. Ask your authorized dealer if you have any  
questions.

Turning on the rear defogger  
The rear defogger (if connected) is programmed to automatically activate  
when remote start is turned on. If the interior cabin temperature is above 55˚ F  
the defogger will not activate.  
To manually activate the rear defogger after remote start is on:  
Press  
four times, and then press . The parking lights flash 4 times to  
confirm the defogger activation.  
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 for occasions when  
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, press and release the  
transmitter.  
button on the  
The parking lights flash one time to confirm that valet -take-over has been  
initiated Then wait a few seconds.  
2. Turn the ignition key to the Off position (The engine remains running).  
3. Exit the vehicle and lock the system with the remote.  
The engine runs until the pre-programmed time elapses or a shut-down  
input is received.  
Note: To enable valet take-over with a manual transmission, open the door  
when going into MTS mode. The parking lights flash five-times to confirm entry  
into valet takeover. After you exit the vehicle you can lock the system with the  
remote and the car remains running. If the vehicle shuts down when locking,  
then the unit did not enter the valet take-over mode.

Safety features  
This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of  
the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or its components.  
Optional 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 operating  
the motor and the optional Failsafe® Starter Kill relay is installed.  
Disabling the remote start system  
This feature allows the remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to prevent  
the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful when  
the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed area.  
To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the Off posi-  
tion. Check with your installer for the location of the shutdown switch.

Diagnostics  
The microprocessor at the heart of the system is constantly monitoring the  
switches that are connected to the main unit.  
Locking  
If the system is locked at the same time that the door input is active, you will  
hear one horn honk to indicate locking, and then a second horn honk to  
indicate Bypass Notification.  
Note: Bypass Notification does not occur if the optional horn and door input  
is not installed or when the system is in Silent Mode or if the notification honks  
have been programmed Off by the installer.  
Unlocking  
Extra honks when unlocking the system is a notification that the batteries in the  
remote are low and need to be replaced.  
Important: The optional horn honk feature must be  
installed.  
Remote start  
This system can provide you with information to indicate what the problem is  
when using the remote start. When the remote start is activated and fails to  
engage, count the parking light flashes to determine the problem. The parking  
lights will flash between 5 - 8 times to indicate what caused the no start situa-  
tion.  
5 flashes: brake wire is active  
6 flashes: hood pin is active  
7 flashes: manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized  
8 flashes: neutral safety wire has no ground or the remote start  
defeat toggle switch is off.  
Keep a record of the number of flashes, to assist your installer when taking the  
vehicle in for service.

Owner recognition  
Owner recognition lets up to four users of the system have unique settings to  
meet their specific needs. It is almost like having four separate systems in your  
vehicle, one for each user. This feature is only available to authorized dealers  
using the Bitwriter or Bitwriter 2 program tool.  
Rapid resume logic  
This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power  
is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory.  
For example, if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for  
any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit  
is still in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including lock or  
unlock.  
Power saver mode  
Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while locked or in  
Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no operation has been performed.  
This lowers the current draw on the vehicles battery. Power Saver Mode takes  
over under the following conditions:  
Power Saver when the system is locked: After the system has been Locked for  
24 hours the status LED on the control center flashes at half its normal rate,  
decreasing the systems current draw.  
Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet Mode the Status  
LED on the control center illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used (ignition  
is not turned on) for a one-hour period while the system is in Valet Mode, the  
status LED shuts Off. If the system remains in Valet Mode, the LED comes back  
on the next time the ignition is turned On, and then Off.

Programming options  
Your system has many custom programmable options. Some may require instal-  
lation labor. Ask your authorized dealer for details.  
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in  
Bold.  
Active locking (remote only) passive locking, the system automatically  
locks the doors 30-seconds after the last door is closed; or Auto Re-lock  
automatically re-locks the doors 60 seconds after unlocking (if no door is  
opened).  
Locking/Unlocking with no horn honk confirmations On or Off.  
Ignition controlled door lock feature On or Off: When this feature is pro-  
grammed on, the doors lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on,  
and unlock when the ignition is turned Off. The ignition lock and unlock  
are independent features that can be programmed separately.  
Panic mode enabled/disabled when the ignition is turned on or com-  
pletely turned Off.  
Comfort closure is a programming option which closes the vehicles  
windows after remote locking. Note: Comfort closure can only be used  
on cars that have the capability of closing the windows (and on some  
cars the sunroof as well) with the key cylinder in the door.

Convenience expansions  
Listed below are some of the expansion options available. Please consult your  
dealer for a complete explanation of all the options available to you.  
Power Trunk Release: The accessory output of the system can operate a fac-  
tory power release for the vehicles trunk or hatch. Sometimes an optional relay  
is required. If the factory release is not power-activated, Directed®s 522T  
trunk release solenoid can often be added.  
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with  
the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate power windows, and can roll  
them up automatically when the system is Locked, roll them down, or both up  
and down.

Glossary of terms  
Control Center: The control center contains the systems radio-frequency  
antenna, the valet and override switch, and the Status LED. For maximum  
remote-control range, the Control Center is usually located at the top of the  
windshield, centered near the rear-view mirror.  
Control Module: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath the  
dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your  
vehicle and controls all of the system's functions.  
Failsafe® Starter Kill (if equipped): An automatic switch controlled by the  
system which prevents the vehicles starter from cranking whenever the system  
is locked. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the system is  
unlocked in Valet® Mode, or should the starter kill switch fail. Your system  
is ready for this feature, however installation of this feature may require ad-  
ditional labor.  
Input: Any physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by  
existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.  
In-vehicle status LED: A light used to indicate the status of your system. It is  
located on your systems control center.  
MTS: Manual transmission start. Procedure required for using the remote start  
in a vehicle with a manual transmission.  
RF: Radio frequency  
Valet Button: A small push button switch located on your systems control center.  
It is used to override the starter interrupt when a remote is lost or damaged, or  
to enter or exit Valet Mode.
