Timer Mode

Pressandbuttons simultaneously There are two types of timer modes and the system can be programmed to perform either one or the other, the factory setting is timed mode. In timed mode, the system allows you to keep the engine warm by automatically activating the remote start every three hours for a maximum of six starting cycles. The temperature mode checks every three hours to see if the temperature threshold of 0°F has been met or exceeded. If met or exceeded, the vehicle then remote starts and runs for the programmed time, and will check again three hours after shutting off. However, if the threshold isn’t met or exceeded, then the remote start does not activate but will check again later after another three hours have elapsed.
Note: The timer mode features are activated and deactivated the same way, with the temperature mode automatically exiting after 18 hours.
To activate:

1. Park the vehicle and set the parking brake.
2. Press the and buttons simultaneously.
3. The parking lights flash slowly four times.
4. The remote start activates and runs for the set duration. The system remains remote-started unless shut down by pressing the button on the remote.
5. Once the remote start shuts down, the vehicle will start every three hours for a maximum of six cycles or until timer mode is canceled by turning on the ignition or activating any of the shutdowns
   (the parking lights flash slowly four times to confirm the Timer Mode is exited).

To deactivate timer mode, turn on the ignition or activate any of the remote start shutdowns (arming and disarming the system or pressing theorbuttons on the remote will not exit the timer mode).
The parking lights flash four times confirming timer mode is exciting.

Note: The feature exits (if active) when the vehicle is driven, so if timer mode is desired, it needs to be activated again.

Short-run Turbo Mode

Pressandbuttons simultaneously Short-run turbo mode keeps the engine running for a programmable period of time after arriving at your destination (check with your authorized Directed dealer for available run times). This allows the system’s timer to conveniently cool down the turbo after you have left the vehicle.

To activate:

1. Park the vehicle and set the parking brake.
2. Remove your foot from the brake pedal and leave the engine running.
3. Press theandbuttons simultaneously
4. The parking lights flash to indicate the remote start has entered the short-run turbo mode.
5. Turn the key to the off position and the engine will continue to run.
6. Exit and secure the vehicle.
7. The engine will shut off after the programmed runtime expires.

Optional Rear Window Defogger

When the feature is programmed on, the rear defogger automatically activates during the remote start sequence if the temperature at the control module is below 55°F. If the temperature is greater than 55°F at the control module when the remote start is activated, the rear defogger does not turn on.

Remote and System operations

Passive Arming/Locking

The system can be programmed to arm/lock itself automatically (called passive arming/locking). If the system is programmed for passive arming/ locking, it will automatically arm/lock 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive arming/locking count down, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed/locked. At the 20-second point of the countdown,
the siren/horn will sound to indicate that the system is about to arm/lock. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash to indicate that the system is armed/locked.
Note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm/lock (unless forced passive arming/locking is programmed on). See “Forced passive arming” under “Programming options” on page 21 of this guide.

Warn Away® Response (security only)

A Warn Away Response consists of the alarm response described below.

• Shock Sensor – Light impacts to the vehicle will flash the vehicle lights and sound the siren/horn for a few seconds.

Triggered Response (security only)

A Triggered Response can be activated by any of the triggers listed below. The default Triggered Response duration is 30 seconds but can be programmed from 1 to 180 seconds by your installer.

• Shock Sensor Trigger – Heavy impacts to the vehicle will instantly sound the siren/horn and flash the lights for the programmed duration and report Zone 2.
• Door Trigger – If a door is opened the siren/horn will sound and lights flash for three seconds, then the siren/horn will sound continuously and the lights will flash for the programmed duration and
  report Zone 3. The three seconds allow the user time to disarm/unlock the system with a minimum of noise should a door be opened inadvertently while the system is armed/locked.
• Hood Trigger – Opening the hood will sound the siren/horn, flash the lights for the programmed duration, and report Zone 6.
• Trunk Trigger – Opening the trunk (if connected) will instantly sound the siren/horn flash the lights for the programmed duration and report Zone 1.
• Ignition Trigger – Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive response as the door trigger and report Zone 5.

Multi-level Security Arming (security only)

Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the security system’s inputs or sensors are active, or are bypassed when the system is armed. (See the “Table of zones” on page 19 of this guide).

• Pressone time to arm the system, siren chirps one time. Pressingagain activates Multi-Level Security Arming.
• Each timeis pressed consecutively, a different security level is selected, as described in the following table:Each press of thebutton ascends to the next security level. Multi-Level Security Arming applies to a single arming cycle. The next time the system is armed, all the zones will be active again.

Arming While Driving (security only)

Your security system can be armed while driving the vehicle. Presson the remote control for two seconds while the vehicle is running. The siren/horn will sound once to indicate that the security system is armed, and then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The system will not respond to any input except the door triggers, and the starter kill relay (if installed) will not be activated. Once you have arrived at your destination, the system will disarm when the ignition is turned off. The siren/horn will sound twice and the LED will then stop flashing. The system can also be disarmed at any time by pressing

High-Security Disarm (security only)

High Security Disarm makes it possible to silence and reset the system when it is triggering, without disarming. If the system is triggered, and the siren sounds for longer than six seconds, pressing thebutton will stop the trigger and return the system to an armed state. The system does not disarm, but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling the system should you want to disarm it without visually checking the vehicle. Pressing thebutton again after resetting the system, will disarm the system. Pressing thebutton during the first six seconds of the triggered sequence disarms the system immediately. The six-second timer is provided for your convenience, in case you accidentally trigger the
system.

System (Emergency) Override

If your remote control is lost or damaged, you can manually disarm your vehicle security system or disable the optional starter kill. To disarm or disable the system without a remote control, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key.
To disarm/disable the system:

1. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
2. Press and release the control center button the preset number of times (one to five times) within 15 seconds (the factory default setting is 1 press). After five seconds, the system will disarm/disable.
   If the system does not disarm/disable, you may have waited too long. Start over by turning the ignition off and on.
   Number of Presses_____________________________________

Valet® Mode

You can prevent your system from automatically arming/locking and triggering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the system/starter kill will not arm/enable, even with the remote control, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk re-lease, etc.) will continue to work normally.

To enter or exit Valet Mode:

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Press and release the control center button within 10 seconds.

To enter or exit Valet Mode using the remote control:

1. Open any vehicle door.
2. Press.
3. Pressand thenpress again.
   The status LED lights solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and goes off when you exit Valet Mode.

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.

To remote start the vehicle:

• Ensure the parking brake is set, and presson the remote control once (or the number of times the system has been programmed to activate the remote start, see “Remote start” on page 5).
  The parking lights flash to confirm that the vehicle will attempt to start. With gas vehicles, the engine starts four seconds after the parking lights flash. With diesel vehicles, the engine starts when the WAIT-TO-START indicator on the dashboard goes out or the programmed delay has ended. Once the vehicle has started, it runs for the pre-programmed period of time (either 12, 24, or 60 minutes; See Programming Options section) or until a shutdown input is triggered.

When you are ready to drive the vehicle:

1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the On position.
2. Press the brake pedal.
3.  Disengage the parking brake.
4. Place the vehicle in gear and drive to your destination.

Note: If the brake pedal is pressed or the parking brake is disengaged 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:

• The brake pedal is pressed
• The hood is opened
• The shutdown toggle switch is put into the Off position
• The parking brake is disengaged
• Runtime (12, 24, or 60 minutes) expires
• The remote start activation procedure from the remote is repeated.

Pit Stop Mode

The Pit Stop mode feature allows the vehicle to remain running after the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is useful for occasions when you wish to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods of time, but would like to leave the motor running and the climate controls on.

Diagnostics (security only)

The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. Refer to the System Status Chirps and Table of Zones charts for diagnostic information.

Arming Diagnostics

If the system is armed while input is active – door open, sensor triggering- the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification. Bypass Notification will not occur when using Silent Mode or if chirps have been programmed OFF. The security system will continually ignore the zone that was active until the input stops. Three seconds after the
input stops, the system monitors that input normally. For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay, and you arm it before the interior light goes out, you may hear Bypass Notification chirps. Once the light shuts off, the doors are monitored normally.

Disarming Diagnostics

Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are heard, a zone is triggered so many times that Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry has bypassed that zone (see “Nuisance prevention circuitry” on page 14 of this guide). The control center LED indicates which zone was involved (see “Table of Zones” on page 19). The system retains this information in its memory and continues to chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed until the next time the ignition key is turned on.

Table of Zones

The number of control centers represents a zone of LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input. Standard input assignments are listed in the following table, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches that have been installed.

Owner Recognition

Owner Recognition is a feature available exclusively from Directed. Using the Directed Bitwriter®, a hand-held programming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings. The programmer makes it possible to program different settings for each remote control that is used with the system. Then, whenever a specific remote control is used, the system will recall the settings assigned to that remote control. Owner Recognition lets up to four users of the system have different settings that
meet their specific needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your vehicle, one for each user.
Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Directed Bitwriter and the necessary software. Check with your dealer for more information.

Rapid Resume Logic

This Directed system will store its current state in non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected, the system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the vehicle when the battery is disconnected ed the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.

Programming Options

Programming options control what your system does during normal operations and require few or no additional parts. However, some may require additional installation labor. The following is a list of the program settings, with the factory settings in Bold:

• Active arming (only with the remote) or passive arming (automatic arming 30- seconds after the last door has been closed).
• Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps On or off.
• The ignition-controlled door lock feature On or Off: With this feature on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on, and the doors are closed, and unlock when the ignition is turned off. With this feature off, the system will not lock the doors when the ignition is turned on and will not unlock the doors when the ignition is turned off. Ignition lock and unlock are independent features and can be programmed separately, when using the Bitwriter.
• Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door locking (only when arming with the remote). Passive locking allows the vehicle’s doors to lock when the security system passively arms (after the 30-second countdown). This feature only works if passive arming has been programmed.
  When programmed for passive arming and active lock, if the system is disarmed without a door being opened, the system will re-lock the doors when it passively rearms.
• Panic mode enabled/disabled with the ignition on: Some states have laws against siren capability in a moving vehicle.
• Forced passive arming On or off: If your system is programmed for passive arming and the forced passive arming feature has been programmed on, the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. This feature is useful if a door has been left ajar when leaving the vehicle. Forced passive arming ensures that the security system will be armed in every
  situation. When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry point that has been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger the system. However, the remaining inputs to the system are fully operational.
• Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or Off: The purpose of this feature is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the key is turned off, the in-vehicle LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled. To start the vehicle, it will be necessary to disarm the system with the remote. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature by turning the ignition key to the RUN position and pressing the Control
  center button the programmed number of times. AED is disabled when the system is in Valet Mode. This feature only functions if the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay has been installed.
• Full trigger response 30 or 60 seconds: This determines how long the full triggered sequence lasts. Some states have laws regulating how long a security system can sound before it is considered a nuisance. If your installer is programming the security system with the Directed Bitwriter, the full triggered response can be programmed for any duration ranging from 1 to 180 seconds.
• Nuisance Prevention Circuitry On or off: Please refer to the NPC section of this manual for a complete explanation of how NPC operates. If NPC is programmed off, the se cu ri ty system will respond to inputs from any sensor indefinitely. Because many states have laws regulating security systems, programming NPC® off may cause your system to violate state laws.
• Progressive door trigger On or Off: When the system is armed and a door is opened, the system responds with ten chirps prior to beginning the full triggered sequence. If an instant trigger is desired, the progressive door trigger can be programmed off.
• Valet pulse count: The number of presses of the control center button required to disarm the security system or AED, the system can be programmed from one to five presses.
• Comfort Closure: Windows will close upon arming the system.

System Maintenance

This system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote control battery replacement. Depending on your remote control type, the remote is powered by either two 3V, CR2016 batteries or one 3V CR2032
battery (see back of remote control for details on battery type used).

Battery replacement

1. Using a small flat-head screwdriver, insert it into the slot located along the edge of the remote control and carefully pry the unit open.
2. Turn the unit over and carefully remove the rear housing. Remove the battery from the holder and replace it with a new one.
3. Reassemble all parts and snap them together.
