(manual transmission) mode, the system must be set up in Reservation mode prior to the vehicle being
able to remote start. IMPORTANT: All warranties or claims are void if a controller with a cut loop is
installed on a vehicle with a manual transmission.
Reservation Mode for Manual Transmissions
To remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must first be set up in reservation mode.
Reservation mode is designed to prevent the vehicle from remote starting while the transmission is in
gear.
Installation Requirements
1. The vehicle’s door triggers must be connected to the control module. Prior to making final connections,
test the factory door triggers to ensure that they are functioning properly.
2. The vehicle’s emergency/parking brake wire must be connected to the control module. The proper
vehicle wire usually provides a negative (-) trigger while the emergency / parking brake is set.
3. The vehicle’s clutch must be momentarily bypassed while the remote start cranks the engine. This
momentary bypass simulates the clutch being depressed. For complete details on how to wire a
momentary clutch bypass consult your CompuTech program or contact our technical support department
by calling 888-820-3690.
IMPORTANT: Do not install a remote start in manual transmission vehicles with convertible / removable
tops and in user’s vehicles that leave their windows down. Firstech nor their authorized dealers will
assume responsibility for improper use or install.
Activating Reservation Mode
STEP 1: Start the vehicle with the key. Place the transmission in neutral, remove pressure from the
pedal brake, and set the emergency/parking brake.
STEP 2: Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicles engine should remain running even
after the key has been removed. If the vehicle does not remain running, check the emergency / parking
brake connection.
STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s engine should shut off upon closing the door.
If the vehicle’s engine does not shut off, check the door trigger connection or wait for the factory dome-
light to go out. The Firstech system is in reservation mode and the vehicle is ready to safely remote start.
Additional Notes
Reservation mode will be cancelled if the control module recognizes the vehicles door, hood or trunk
opening – or if the alarm is triggered. Each time the end user wants to remote start their manual
transmission vehicle, they must set the control module in reservation mode. Reservation mode settings
can be programmed with Option 1-06.
