General System Functions
The system can be configured to passively lock and arm the vehicle. Put the system in passive by tapping the Function button three times
and then tapping the Unlock button . “PASSIVE ARMING ON” will flash across the screen and PSV icon will illuminate indicating that your
vehicle is in passive lock and arming mode. Repeat the above procedure to turn Passive Mode off.
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 Key/Start button for 2.5 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission vehicle. If you are in range and the vehicle is ready to
remote start, the remote will beep once and the CompuGLO backlight will light up indicating that the remote start command has been successfully
transmitted.
If you are in range and the remote beeps three times, displays “START ERR – 01 through 08” you have 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 engine icon will have a rotating circle, highlight the vehicle on your
remote and the clock icon will begin to show the amount of run time remaining. 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.
IMPORANT
The transmission must be left in the neutral position. The vehicles windows must be rolled up.
The vehicles 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 doors will lock/arm and then engine will shut down. 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.
