➜ system maintenance The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery begins to weaken, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim. ➜ your warranty Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.
➜ caution This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and contrary the product's intended use. transmitter functions The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any remote transmitter button to any receiver function.

reach from children all remote control transmitters to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL 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 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 OPER ATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
➜ passive arming The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automatically arm 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 countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed.
➤ ➤ tem with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing instant response (even if the door is immediately closed). Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive response as opening a door. The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
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.
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. This prevents you from disabling the system should you wish to disarm it without visually checking the vehicle.
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.
➜ rear defogger To turn the rear defogger output OFF: 1. Simultaneously press & release the + + buttons on the remote control. 2. The lights will flash 2 times. 3. The rear defogger output will no longer activate when the vehicle is remote started. note: If the remote start is on the parking lights will turn off then flash 2-times before returning to their normal output and the defogger output, if active, will cease. To turn the rear defogger output ON: 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).
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. The lights will flash to indicate the remote start has entered short run turbo mode. 5. Turn off the key, the engine will keep running. 6. Exit and secure the vehicle. 7. The engine will turn off after the programmed run time.
4. The system will start the car and will run for the specified duration, unless shut down by the remote start button shut down with the remote start button . If the system will remain in timer mode. 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.
➜ 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. ➜ disabling the remote start system This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally.
➜ 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. The two most important are hood and brake inputs. The hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as well as shut it down, any time the hood is opened. The brake pedal will shut down the motor at any time during remote start operation, as well as preventing the remote start from activating while it is being pressed.
The vehicle doors are protected by NPC differently. If your security system is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the system will bypass the doors until the trigger ceases. note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is important to remember that the NPC programming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working.
the system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after that input ceases, the security system will resume normal monitoring. For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you arm your security system before the interior light turns off, you may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp. Once the light turns off, however, the security system resumes normal monitoring.
Action Number of Chirps Description Arm 1 System armed Arm 1 (3-second delay), 1 System armed with Bypass Notification Disarm 2 System disarmed Disarm 4 System disarmed with Tamper Alert Disarm 5 System disarmed NPC active ➜ table of zones A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input.
➜ interpreting zone diagnostics Warn Away responses are not reported by arming or disarming diagnostics. If you receive a Bypass notification when arming or a Tamper Alert notification when disarming, look at the LED. Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by the LED. 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.
out of sync with the control unit and fail to operate the system. To re-sync the remote simply press several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters normally. 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.
note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Bitwriter® and the necessary software. Check with your dealer for more information. 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.
Mode the LED 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 LED will shut off. If the system remains in Valet Mode, the LED will come back on the next time the ignition is turned on and then back off. 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.
system passively arms (after the 30-second countdown). This feature only works if passive arming has been programmed. ➤ Panic mode enabled/disabled when the ignition is turned on. (Some states have laws against sirens sounding in moving cars.) ➤ 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.
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 LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter will be disabled. To start the car, it will be necessary to disarm the system with the transmitter.
