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 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.
