DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS. ➜ active arming You can arm the system by pressing of your transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also lock.
down, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is about to arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash to indicate that the system is armed. 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 (unless forced passive arming is programmed on. See Programming Options section.) Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
➜ multi-level security arming Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be bypassed when the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section of this guide.) Pressing (only in Standard Configuration) again within five seconds of arming the system will activate the Multi-Level Security feature. Each time is pressed again, a different security level is selected.
note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active again. ➜ arming while driving Your security system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply press on the transmitter for two seconds while the vehicle is running. The siren will chirp once to indicate that the security system is armed, and then once more to indicate that the ignition is on.
➜ high security disarm This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the system while it is triggering, without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer than six seconds, pressing on the remote transmitter will stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The system will not disarm, but rather reset.
To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the ON position. Press the Valet button the preset number of times (one to DRW-35 five times) within 15 seconds. After five seconds, the system will disarm. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long; turn the ignition off and on and try again.
➜ panic mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter. Just press for two seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for the programmed siren duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press on the remote transmitter again. ➜ valet mode You can prevent your security system from automatically arming and triggering by using Valet Mode.
3. Press . 4. Press again. The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and it will go out if you are exiting 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.
4. 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. Breathing the exhaust from the vehicle is hazardous to your health. Never activate the remote start in an enclosed space. When you are ready to drive the vehicle: 1.
➜ 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 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. To perform Valet® Take-Over: 1. Before turning off the engine, press and release twice within 3 seconds on the transmitter (or press and release the optional momentary switch).
➜ short-run/turbo Short run turbo mode keeps the engine running after arriving at you destination for a programmable period of 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes. 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 parking brake. 2. Remove your foot from the brake pedal and leave the engine running. 3. Press and release the and buttons at the same time. 4.
active the timer mode will cancel. 1. Press Timer mode buttons. 2. The vehicle will confirm with 4 parking light flashes. 3. A 1-second delay will start. 4.

The system will start every 3 hours until canceled by the brake, hood, or neutral safety shut-down wires.
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. ➜ 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.
programmed levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor due to fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may cause the engine to race. note: The system uses a wire connected to the vehicle to sense engine speed. This wire must be connected in order for over and under rev protection to work. ➜ shut down inputs This security system uses several inputs to shut down the remote start operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain inputs are active.
➜ nuisance prevention circuitry Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention Circuitry™ (NPC™). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Example If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC™ will interpret those triggers as false alarms.
diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect 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 sections of this guide for diagnostic information.
➜ disarming diagnostics Extra chirps that are heard when disarming the system are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming the system, then the security system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are heard when disarming the system, a zone was triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection Circuitry™ has bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section).
➜ table of zones A zone is represented by the number 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.
Example If zone 3 was active or triggered, the LED will blink three times with a two-second pause. Then it will blink three times again, and repeat until the ignition is turned on. note: Your system stores the last two triggered zones in memory. If your system has been triggered but the LED has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can still recall the last two zones that were triggered. Contact your dealer for details.
high frequency Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. Enjoy a phenomenal increase in range, even in areas with high radio interference. owner recognition Owner Recognition is a revolutionary new feature available only from Directed. Using a Directed Bitwriter, hand-held programming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings.
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. 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, and Valet® Mode.
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. The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in Bold. ➤ Active arming (transmitter only) or passive arming (automatic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been closed). ➤ Arming/disarming siren chirps on or off.
➤ Forced passive arming on or off. If your security 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. Forced passive arming ensures that the system will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar when leaving the vehicle.
car, it will be necessary to disarm the system with the transmitter. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature by turning the ignition key to the RUN position and pressing the Valet® button the programmed number of times. AED is also disabled when the system is in Valet® mode. note: This feature will only function if the FailSafe® Starter Kill relay has been installed. ➤ Siren tones and chirp volume. The output of the Revenger™ Soft Chirp™ siren consists of six different tones in sequence.
security & convenience expansions Listed below are some of the many expansion options available. Please consult your dealer for a complete explanation of all the options available to you. Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, then analyzes them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been struck.
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.
glossary of terms Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under- neath the dash area of the vehicle. The control unit houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions. Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: An automatic switch controlled by your system that prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system is armed.
alarm “goes off ” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your system consists of the siren sounding and parking lights flashing for the programmed duration. Valet Switch: A small push button mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the starter interrupt when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet Mode. Warning Zone Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will generate the Warning Zone response.
