limited lifetime consumer warranty
Directed Electronics, Inc. ("Directed") promises to the original purchaser to repair or replace with a comparable reconditioned model any Directed unit (hereafter the "unit"), excluding without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters, the associated sensors and accessories, which proves to be defective in workmanship or material under reasonable use during the lifetime of the vehicle provided the following conditions are met: the unit was professionally installed and serviced by an authorized Directed dealer; the unit will be professionally reinstalled in the vehicle in which it was originally installed by an authorized Directed dealer; and the unit is returned to Directed, shipping prepaid with a legible copy of the bill of sale or other dated proof of purchase bearing the following information: consumer's name, telephone number and address; the authorized dealers name, telephone number and address; complete product description, including accessories; the year, make and model of the vehicle; vehicle license number and vehicle identification number. All components other than the unit, including without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters and the associated sensors and accessories, carry a one-year warranty from the date of purchase of the same. This warranty is non-transferable and is automatically void if: the original purchaser has not completed the warranty card and mailed it within ten (10) days of the date of purchase to the address listed on the card; the unit's date code or serial number is defaced, missing or altered; the unit has been modified or used in a manner contrary to its intended purpose; the unit has been damaged by accident, unreasonable use, neglect, improper service, installation or other causes not arising out of defects in materials or construction. [. . . ] Simply press for less than one second before arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you.
note: The Warn Away® response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode. This ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an area you want chirp-free. Only the Warn Away® response is bypassed.

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 remote start your vehicle when the keys are in the ignition, except when performing Valet® Take-Over, and (2) Never start the vehicle if it is not in either PARK or NEUTRAL.
To remote start the vehicle:
1. The parking lights will flash to confirm that the vehicle will attempt to start. A remote start page notification with a unique melody (or vibration) will be generated and the LCD will display the remote start (19) icon as long as the vehicle is running.
note: The 2-way remote will generate a Page Notification with a different unique two-tone beep (or vibrate) and the remote start (19) icon will turn off when the remote start shuts down.
4. In gasoline vehicles, the engine will start 4 seconds after the parking lights flash. In diesel vehicles, the engine will start when the WAIT-TO-START indicator on the vehicle's dash goes out.

5. Once the vehicle has started, it will run for the pre-programmed period of time (either 12, 24, or 60 minutes - see Programming Options section of this guide) or until a shutdown input is triggered.
important!It is unsafe to operate a vehicle's motor in a garage or other closed off area. Never activate the remote start in an enclosed space.
When you are ready to drive the vehicle:
1. Press the brake pedal.
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 will monitor the vehicle and will automatically shut down the engine if the system receives any of the following shutdown inputs:
The brake pedal is pressed. The pre-programmed run time (12, 24, or 60 minutes) has elapsed.
Remote button is pressed twice within 3 seconds. [. . . ] For other systems, additional parts may be required.
Power Trunk Release: The accessory output of the system can op-
erate a factory power release for the vehicle's trunk or hatch. Although the on-board relay can control most power trunk releases, 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 pro-
vided with the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate power windows, and can roll them up automatically when the system is armed, roll them down, or both up and down.
Mobile Video: This system is compatible with Directed Video's
MCB1000 Multi-Channel Controller, featuring on-screen security system programming and zone trigger information.
