Quick Reference

Button Lock

The 2W901R-SS comes equipped with button lock. This requires you to tap any button to wake your remote up then tap the button for the function you are trying to activate. Button lock can be turned off in your remote’s option menu.

Valet Mode

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.

ByFirstech,LLC 6

Quick Reference

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.

Remote LCD (liquid crystal display) Diagram and icons

Common Icons-

Lock/Arm – Unlock/Disarm

This icon indicates whether the system is locked/armed or unlocked/disarmed. While armed, the system will monitor the doors, trunk, 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.

Valet 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.

Battery Indicator

This icon displays the remaining battery life left in 33% increments.

Clock

Displays current time, remote start runtime, turbo mode time remaining, inside temperature of the vehicle, battery voltage of the vehicle, battery voltage of the remote and failure of signal transfer.

Starter Icons-

Engine Running

This icon will be displayed while the vehicle is running after it has been remote started.

Start Availability

Thisiconwillbedisplayedwhenthevehicleisreadytoberemote-started.Ifthisiconisnotdisplayed,youwillnotbeabletoremote-startthevehicle.

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.

Aralm Icons-

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.

ByFirstech,LLC 18

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.

Advanced Icons-

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.

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.

ByFirstech,LLC 20

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.

Active Lock/Arm and Unlock/Disarm

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

Passive Lock / Arm

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.

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 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.

General System Functions

Manual Transmission Remote Start Function (Reservation Mode)

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.

General System Functions

Cancelling Reservation Mode

Reservation mode will be cancelled for the following reasons;

You did not activate the parking brake prior to turning off the ignition. You pressed the foot brake after the key was removed from the ignition.

You released the parking brake after the key was removed from the ignition.

You entered valet mode, opened the vehicles door, hood, trunk or set off the alarm.

Reservation Mode Settings

Reservation mode settings can be programmed with Option 1-6. It is recommended that reservation mode settings are programmed by your local authorized Firstech dealer.

Default1 : Locks doors when reservation mode is set.

Option2 : Hold Key/Start button to initiate Reservation Mode

Option3 : Reservation mode sets 10 seconds after the last door is closed, as opposed to immediately.

This option will allow you to access the vehicle’s rear doors, trunk or hatch prior to the system setting reservation and passively locking/arming.

General System Functions

Auxiliary Outputs / Window Roll-Down / Sliding Doors

Your system is equipped with two additional outputs that can be configured to control windows, open power sliding doors, open a power sliding moon roof, or even turn on a rear defroster. These outputs can be configured for pulsed, timed or latched settings. Your authorized Firstech dealer can set these outputs up accordingly. Using auxiliary outputs to control additional vehicle functions will require additional parts and can be rather labor extensive.

Tap the Function button for a half second followed by the Trunk button to trigger auxiliary output 1. Tap the Function button for a half second followed by the Key/Start button to trigger auxiliary output 2. The remote will beep once, parking lights flash, and “AUX TRIGGER 1 or 2” will scroll across the screen, indicating that the auxiliary output(s) have been triggered.

By default, the system is in secure auxiliary mode, which requires you to tap the Key/Start button for a half second prior to triggering auxiliary 1 or 2. To turn off secure auxiliary, ask your authorized Firstech dealer to turn on Option 4-5 to setting II.

Temperature and Battery Query

When in range of your vehicle, the remote will display the vehicle’s temperature and vehicle battery voltage upon tapping the Key/Start

button

. The temperature will be displayed after tapping the Key/Start button

for a half second. Tap the Key/Start button

a

second time within four seconds to display the vehicle’s battery voltage.

 

 

If you tap the Key/Start button and you do not get any response from the remote, the remote pager is most likely out of range to receive commands. If you tap Key/Start button and the remote reads “FAIL” then your temperature sensor is not installed or may be malfunctioning.
