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 FT-DAS must be installed and working properly.
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 install this remote start on a manual transmission vehicle that has a convertible or
removable top.
Do not set reservation mode or remote start with people in the vehicle.
Activating Reservation Mode
STEP 1: While the vehicle is running, place the transmission in neutral, set the emergency / parking
brake, and remove pressure from the foot brake.
STEP 2: 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.
STEP 3: 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 not be functioning properly.
Discontinue use of the remote start feature and take your vehicle to a local authorized Firstech dealer for
service.
When the vehicle shuts off, your system is in reservation mode and 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.
Cancelling Reservation Mode
Reservation mode will be cancelled for the following reasons;
The FT-DAS is not installed and/or configured correctly.
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 vehicle’s door, hood, trunk or set off the alarm.
Reservation Mode Settings
Reservation mode settings can be programmed by your authorized dealer.
Option 1: Locks doors before Reservation Mode is set.
Option 2: Hold Key/Start button to initiate Reservation Mode.
Option 3: 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.
Option 4: Locks doors after Reservation Mode is set.
