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 LED’s will illuminate to indicate the system is in passive lock and arming mode. Repeat this
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
Automatic Transmission Remote Start Function
Hold the Key/Start
button for 2.5 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission
vehicle. If you are in range and vehicle is ready to start, the remote will beep once and the
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, there is a remote start error. Refer to the “remote
start error diagnostic” on
the last page
of this manual for details.
Upon remote start confirmation, the LED’s will begin flashing 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 authorized
dealer to adjust your remote start run time.
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 pressed prior to turning the key to the “on” position, the vehicle
will shut off.
