3. If your system is set up for a secure valet option (optional), you will not be able to put the system into valet until the proper code has been entered using the
secure valet switch. The secure valet switch is the small button with bright blue LED on the front and if installed is the only way to override the alarm and/or
remote start. Until programmed, the default code is (3, 3).
Quick Reference

When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, the system should be placed in Valet Mode. Valet Mode prevents the system from remote starting and
disables all alarm functions.
IMPORTANT: While in Valet mode the remote will still control power lock and unlock systems. The parking lights will not flash.
The system can be put into valet one of three ways:
1. Turn the vehicle’s key to the ignition “on” position, tap the Function button 3 times, and finally tap the Lock button. The parking lights
will flash once, the remote will read “VALET ON” and Z’s will show on the LCD above the vehicle’s hood to confirm valet mode. Repeat this
process to exit valet mode. The parking lights will flash twice, remote read “VALET OFF” and Z’s will disappear confirming valet mode is disabled.
2. If you do not have your remote control, you can put the system into valet by turning the ignition key “on” and then “off” five times within 7 seconds. The
parking lights will flash once to confirm the system is in valet mode. Shortly after the first flash, the parking lights will flash twice. A remote control is required
to take the system out of valet mode.

hood, shock sensor, and aux inputs. If any of these inputs are triggered while the system is armed, the alarm will be triggered.
Trunk Release
This icon will be displayed when the trunk release function has been activated. By default, the system will be disarmed and the doors will
unlock before the trunk is released.
Signal Strength
This icon is displayed if the last communication to the vehicle was successful.
V
alet Mode
This icon will be displayed while you are in Valet mode. While in valet mode, the system will not perform any functions other than lock
and unlock. The alarm will not arm or disarm while locking or unlocking. If any other function is attempted, “Sleep” will be displayed.
The system will not monitor the alarm triggers while in Valet mode.

Remote LCD(liquid crystal display) Diagram and icons
Starter Icons-
Aralm Icons-
Engine Running
This icon will be displayed while the vehicle is running after it has been remote started.
Start Availability
This icon will be displayed when the vehicle is ready to be remote-started. If this icon is not displayed, you will not be able to remote-start the vehicle.
Timer Mode
This icon will be displayed when Timer mode is active. Timer mode can be set up to start the vehicle every 1.5, 3, or once very 24 hours.
Cold/Hot Start
This icon will be displayed if Cold Start mode is currently active. Cold Start mode will start the vehicle if the vehicle reaches a preset hot or
cold temperature. These temperatures can be adjusted by the installer.
Siren
This icon will be displayed if the siren is turned on. Turning the siren off only applies to the chirps when arming, disarming, or
remote-starting. The siren will still sound if the alarm is triggered.
Hood
This icon will be displayed if the hood is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while displaying this icon.
This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the vehicle, it means that the vehicle will
not start because the hood is open.
Advanced Icons-
Impact
This icon will be displayed if an impact to the vehicle is detected while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while
displaying this icon if the impact is hard; this means that the alarm was triggered. If it beeps slowly while displaying this icon, that
means that the impact was soft and that the alarm simply gave four warning chirps.
Door
This icon will be displayed if the door is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while displaying this icon.
This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not
start because the door is open.
Trunk
This icon will be displayed if the trunk is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while displaying this icon.
This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not
start because the trunk is open.
Car Call
This icon will be displayed while someone is attempting to contact you using the RPS sensor. To trigger the RPS sensor, you must knock
on the windshield where the sensor is located. Something that creates a higher pitch, like a key, is better suited to trigger the RPS.
Passive Mode
This icon will be displayed if Passive mode is currently active. Passive mode will automatically arm the system 30 seconds after the
last door is closed or 30 seconds after the system was disarmed if no door was opened. This mode is ignored while the ignition is on
with the key.
Drive Lock
This icon will be displayed if Drive Lock mode is currently active. Drive Lock mode will lock the doors automatically if the ignition is
on and the brake is pressed or if the ignition is on and the engine exceeds the idle RPM multiplied by 2, depending on the options set
by the installer. The doors will be unlocked when the ignition is turned off. In a manual transmission vehicle the doors will unlock
when the emergency brake is set.
By Firstech, LLC 18 19 By Firstech, LLC
2W901R-SS_ES USER GUIDE.indd 19-20 2011-3-26 14:34:04
Turbo mode
This icon will be displayed if Turbo mode is currently active. While Turbo mode is active, the vehicle will remain running for a preset time
after the emergency brake has been set and the key has been removed from the ignition.
2nd Car Mode
This will be displayed while you are in 2nd Car mode. 2nd Car mode allows you to control another vehicle with the same system installed
in it. The remote needs to be coded to the other vehicle in 2nd Car mode for this feature to work.
Vibration
This icon will be displayed if the remote is set to vibrate only. While the remote is set to vibrate only the remote will not beep, even if the
alarm is triggered. The remote will still vibrate in this mode.
Alarm Clock
This icon will be displayed if the Alarm Clock function is turned on. When the clock reaches the preset time, the remote will beep and flash
the alarm clock icon. Press lock button for a half second. to silence the remote.
Shock Sensor Bypassed
This icon will be displayed when the shock sensor is bypassed by holding the Lock and Unlock buttons for 2.5 sec. Impact to the
vehicle will not be detected at this time. This icon is always displayed on starter only systems because there is no shock sensor.
Aux Mode (Alarm or alarm/starter systems only.)
This icon will be displayed while you are in Aux mode. During this time, you can activate auxiliary outputs 1 or 2 by pressing Function
button then Trunk or Function button then Key/Start . Aux outputs can be used to activate various systems or functions in a vehicle.
Voltage
This icon will be displayed while the remote is reporting the voltage of the vehicle or remote battery.
Temperature
This icon will be displayed while the remote is reporting the temperature of the vehicle.
General System Functions
The remote transmitter functions are predetermined and programmed from the factory. The five button configuration allows for many functions to be
performed through a series of tapping and/or holding buttons.
Sending Commands
When in range and a command has been sent, the remote pager backlight will illuminate, the remote will beep and the appropriate icon will be displayed.
For example, to send a remote start command from the pager, hold the Key/Start button for 2.5 seconds. The backlight will illuminate and the remote
will beep and the clock will change to text confirming the command has been sent and that the remote is in range. Once the vehicle has successfully remote
started, the remote will receive a command indicating the vehicle is running.
Receiving Commands
The remote pager will receive commands indicating the status of the vehicle, confirmation of sending commands and alarm notifications. For example, after
sending the lock command, the lock icon will update confirming the vehicle has been successfully locked/armed. To see if your pager is in range, tap the Key/
Start button for a half second – if the pager backlight illuminates and beeps, the pager is in range.
Tap the Lock button for a half second to lock/arm your vehicle. Tap the Unlock button to unlock/disarm your vehicle. If equipped this
will also activate your starter kill and anti grind feature. Also you will not be able to start your vehicle with the key until unlock/disarm.
IMPORTANT: If the alarm has been triggered (Siren is sounding, parking lights flashing, and horn honking), you must wait until the remote
pager has been paged before disarming the alarm – the first button tap will shut off the alarm and the second will unlock/disarm the system.

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.
