Locking
Pressing
for one second arms the system by activating the
starter kill and locking the doors (if the door locks are connect-
ed). The horn will honk (if connected) and the parking lights will
flash once to confirm arming of the system. While the system is
armed, the status LED will flash once per second. The Failsafe®
Starter Kill will also prevent the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
The system can also be programmed to arm the optional Failsafe®
Starter Kill automatically (called Passive Mode). If the system has
been programmed for Passive Mode, the Failsafe® Starter Kill will
automatically activate 30 seconds after the ignition has been
turned off. After the ignition has been turned off, the status LED
will flash rapidly to indicate that the system is in Passive Mode.
17
2005 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved
©
If Passive Mode has been programmed on, then it is also possible
to program the system for Passive Locking. With Passive Locking,
the vehicle doors lock automatically at the same time that the
Failsafe® Starter Kill is activated. If Passive Locking is programmed
on, care must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked in the
vehicle.
For Passive Mode to be effective, the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay

must be installed.
Unlocking
Pressing
for one second disarms the system and unlocks the
doors (if connected). The horn will honk twice (if connected) and
the parking lights will flash twice to confirm disarming of the sys-
tem. The optional Failsafe® Starter Kill will be deactivated. The sta-
tus LED will turn off, unless the system is programmed for Passive
Mode. In Passive Mode, the status LED will flash rapidly when the
system is disarmed. This indicates that the system will re-engage
the starter kill and re-lock the doors (if Passive Locking has been
programmed) in 30 seconds unless the ignition is turned on.

the system
5. The system will start every 3 hours until canceled by the
brake, hood, or neutral safety shut-down wires.
IMPORTANT!
Timer Mode should be used only in open areas. Never start
and run the vehicle in an enclosed space such as a garage or carport.
To exit timer mode, turn the ignition switch on any time the
engine is running. The parking lights will flash 4 times, indicating
timer mode has been exited.
Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry
Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind cir-
cuitry 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 Failsafe® Starter Kill relay is installed.

Disabling the Remote Start System
This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be tem-
porarily 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.

Rapid Resume Logic
This Directed Electronics 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. This means 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 will
still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system
including arm, disarm, VRS®, and Valet Mode.

: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-
neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor
which monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions.
Failsafe® Starter Kill:
An automatic switch controlled by your sys-
tem which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever
the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking
when the system is disarmed, in Valet Mode, or if the starter kill
switch itself fails. Your system has feature-ready circuitry for the
starter kill, however installation may require additional labor.
LED:
A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the
vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.
Transmitter:
A hand-held, remote control which operates the var-
ious functions of your system.

Valet Switch:
A small push button mounted at a discretionary loca-
tion inside the vehicle. It is used to override the Failsafe® Starter
Kill when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet
Mode.
Convenience Expansions
Listed below are some of the many expansion options available for
use with your system. Some options may require additional parts
and/or labor. Please consult with your dealer for a complete list of
options available for use with this system.
Domelight Supervision:
The domelight will illuminate for 30 sec-
onds each time the system is disarmed using the transmitter.
This is useful for seeing inside the vehicle at night prior to
entering it.
Power Door Lock Control:
Your system is capable of controlling
many types of power door lock systems; however, some door lock
systems may require extra parts. Consult with your dealer to deter-
mine which type of locks your vehicle uses. If power locks are
connected, the system can be programmed to lock the doors auto-
matically 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned off. The
system can also be programmed to lock the doors when the ignition
is turned on and to unlock them when the ignition is turned off.
Power Trunk Release:
The system’s auxiliary output can be pro-

or hatch. If the factory release is not power-activated, Directed
Electronics 522T trunk-release solenoid can often be added.
Power Window Control:
Power window control is provided with
Directed Electronics 529T or 530T systems. The 529T system will
roll up two windows automatically when the system is armed, or
roll two windows down by using the transmitter. The 530T will roll
two windows both up and down. The 530T also provides one touch
switch operation.
Progressive Door Unlocking:
For added security, your system can
be configured to unlock the driver’s door only, leaving the pas-
senger doors locked. Pressing the unlock button an additional time
will unlock the passenger doors. This option requires additional
parts and labor.
