General System Functions
Your installer must first program this feature for you. The system can be configured to passively lock and arm the vehicle. Put the system in
passive by tapping buttons simultaneously for a half second. The remote will beep once and the LCD will illuminate to indicate the
system is in passive lock and arming mode.
While in passive mode, the system will lock and arm the alarm 30 seconds after the last door is closed. As an indicator that the vehicle is going to passively
lock and arm, the remote and siren will chirp once and the parking lights will flash once at both 10 and 20 seconds prior to passively locking and arming. If
you want the system to passively arm and not passively lock, ask your local Firstech dealer to turn Option 1-8 to setting III.
Passive Lock / Arm
Hold the button for 2.5 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission vehicle. If you are in range and if the vehicle is ready to remote start,
the 2way LCD remote will beep once and the parking lights will flash once and/or siren chirp once to indicate that the remote start command has
been successfully transmitted.
If you are in range and the LCD remote beeps three times, the parking lights will flash three times and/or siren chirps three times to indicate there is
a remote start error. Refer to the “remote start error diagnostic” on the last page of this manual for details.
Upon receiving confirmation that your vehicle is running, the remote LCD will flash and remote beep to show the run time. The remote
start run time can be programmed for 3, 15, 25, or 45 minutes - ask your local Firstech dealer to adjust Option 2-7 if you would like a
run time other than 15 minutes (default).
IMPORTANT : Your vehicle’s key must be inserted into the ignition and turned to the “on” position prior to driving your vehicle. If the foot brake is
depressed prior to the key being in the “on” position, the vehicle will shut off.
Automatic Transmission Remote start Function
In order to remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must first be set in Reservation Mode. Reservation Mode must be set each and
every time you want to remote start a manual transmission vehicle. The purpose of Reservation Mode is to leave the transmission in neutral before
exiting the vehicle. Remote start icon will appear on LCD screen if Reservation Mode is properly set.
IMPORANT
The transmission must be left in the neutral position. The vehicle's windows must be rolled up.
The vehicle's door pins must be in working order. Do not set reservation mode or remote start with people in the vehicle.
Do not install this remote start on a manual transmission vehicle that has a convertible or removable top.
Activating Reservation Mode
STEP1 :
While the vehicle is running, place the transmission in neutral, set the emergency / parking brake, and remove pressure from the foot brake.
STEP2 :
Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicle’s engine should remain running even after the key has been removed. If the vehicle does not
remain running visit your local authorized Firstech dealer for service.
STEP3 : Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s engine should shut off instantly or within 10 seconds upon closing the last door. If the
vehicle’s engine does not shut off, your door trigger may be functioning improperly. Do not use the remote start feature and take your vehicle to a local
authorized Firstech dealer for service.
Once the vehicle shuts off your system is in reservation mode and the vehicle is ready to safely remote start.
IMPORTANT
: By default, the system will lock/arm the vehicle upon setting reservation mode. Take care to not lock your keys inside the vehicle.
