| Clone Safe Code-Hopping | Clone Safe Code-Hopping is Directed's advanced form of 66-bit encryption, providing absolute immunity from Code Grabbers, (illegal devices that intercept and rebroadcast radio frequency signals).

| Flex Channel | Another great ESP feature: an extra channel you can configure any way you want! Useit for headlights, remote control windows, or remote start! You name it, with ESP Flex-Channel you can remote control it! Please discuss with your installer - additional labor may be required for optional remote control conveniences. |
| Forced Passive Arming | The next level of passive arming. Forced Passive Arming ensures that even if you leave your car door open, the system will arm and bypass that particular zone (door, sensor, switch etc.) after one hour. Passive arming must be selected for this feature to be enabled. Great if you leave your vehicle in a hurry and left it unsecured, Forced Passive Arming ensures you are protected always. |
| Ghost Switch | Ghost Switch is an innovative bypass method that sends a coded signal from an existing switch in the vehicle. Imagine you've lost your transmitter while the system is armed. With Ghost Switch, just turn on the ignition and operate the assigned switch the appropriate number of times to bypass the system. Now we have a security feature that doesn't require an extra switch and is very easy and convenient to use. No worries of a thief finding a valet/override switch in the vehicle, thanks to Ghost Switch. Please discuss with your installer. |

| Nuisance Prevention Circuitry | Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC) is smart enough to adjust itself to a variety of environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, or airport parking lots. If NPC activates, only the zone that activated three times in 60 minutes is ignored. All other zones remain active, and disarming with the transmitter doesn't reset the NPC; it's only cleared when the ignition is turned on. Best of all, NPC comes back on in an hour if no further problems are detected. No More False Alarms. Nuisance Provention Circuitry means no more false alarms, whether you're parked at the airport, on a busy street or next to a construction site. |
| Owner Recognition | Remote control transmitters are his/her compatible! So if you like siren chirps and she doesn't, you like ignition controlled door locks and she doesn't, or you like active arming and she likes passive, no problem.

| Status LED | Status LED flashes as a visual deterrent and to report on important security modes. Status Reporting alerts the operator to any violation that occurred while the vehicle was armed. Because the status LED consumes power, we maximize its efficiency by varying the LED flash rate and duty cycle, resulting in the most current-efficient product on the market. In Valet Mode, the LED will turn off when the ignition is on, another nice touch! |
| Stinger DoubleGuard Shock Sensor | The Stinger DoubleGuard Shock Sensor detects blows or impacts to your vehicle and discriminates between normal everyday occurrences and potentially harmful intrusions. Warn Away or full response depends on the threat. |
