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. Note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is op er at ing the motor and the optional relay is installed. 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. 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. Location Of Shutdown Switch_________________________

Ignition controlled door locks If power door locks have been connected to your system, the vehicle's doors will lock three seconds after the ignition has been turned On and unlock when the ignition is turned Off. Important: The ignition controlled door lock feature must be pro- grammed On. If the ignition is turned on when the vehicle is remote started the doors will not lock until the remote start shuts off. To avoid being locked out of the vehicle, do not turn the ignition on until you are ready to drive the vehicle. Rapid resume logic This Directed Electronics system can 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 Locked Mode and the battery is dis con nect ed for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is re con nect ed the unit will still be in Locked Mode. This applies to all states of the system.

Owner recognition Owner Recognition is a revolutionary feature avail able only from Di- rected. Using a Directed Bitwriter® hand-held programming tool, your dealer can program different settings for each trans mit ter that is used with the system. Then, when a specific transmitter is used, the settings assigned to that transmitter are recalled. Owner Rec og ni tion lets up to four users have different settings to meet their specific needs. It is almost like having four separate systems in your vehicle, one for each user. Note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Bitwriter® and the necessary soft ware. Check with your dealer for more informa- tion. When using Owner Recognition, only the following features are avail- able. sHorn function sIgnition locking and unlocking sActivation pulses for remote start
