Remote Reference Quick Reference

When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, your remote start 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 start will still lock and unlock power lock systems.

With the CS600-A the alarm triggers will not function however the doors will still function.

The system can be put into valet one of two ways:

1.Turn the vehicles key to the ignition “on” position and hold the Lock and Trunk buttons simultaneously for 2.5 seconds. The parking lights

will flash once to confirm the system is in valet mode. Repeat this process to take the system out of valet mode. Upon tapping the same buttons

again the parking lights will flash twice to confirm the system is out of valet mode.

2. 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.

v@m

The only regular maintenance this system requires is remote control battery replacement. No programming is required when replacing the

battery.

One Button Remotes: AR-600R

First, remove the small Phillips screw located on the back of the remote. Once the screw has been removed, gently pull the remote apart being careful to not touch

the circuit board. The 600R requires one A23 battery. These specialty batteries can be purchased from your local Firstech dealer or an electronics store.

The system can be configured to automatically lock and arm the vehicle 30 seconds after closing the last door. Place the system in passive by

taping buttons simultaneously for a half (0.5) second. The vehicle will flash the lights once and/or siren chirp once to indicate the

system is in passive lock and arming mode. Tap the same buttons again to turn passive mode off. The parking lights will flash twice and/or siren

chirp twice to show it is off.

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 lock, ask your local dealer to turn Option 1-8 to setting III.

“remote start error diagnostic” for details.

Upon receiving confirmation that your vehicle is running, the parking lights will light solid. The remote start run time can be set for 3, 15, 25, or 45 minutes.

This should be set at the time of installation. If not ask your place of purchase to adjust the option if you would like a run-time other than the default 15 minutes.

IMPORTANT: The 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.

Hold buttons simultaneously for 2.5 seconds to turn the shock sensor on and off. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once and/or

siren chirp once to confirm the shock sensor is off. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash twice and/or siren chirp twice to confirm the shock

sensor is on.

IMPORTANT: Turning off the shock sensor also turns off the optional sensor(s).

Adjusting the shock sensor sensitivity is done at the actual sensor, which is generally mounted somewhere under the vehicle’s dashboard. The higher the number

on the dial means greater sensitivity to impact. The recommended dial setting for most vehicle’s is somewhere between 2 & 4. If you are testing your sensor,

please note that the shock sensor does not recognize impact for 30 seconds after the system has been armed.

Your system has the ability to use outputs that can be configured to control power sliding doors or a rear lift gate. These outputs some sort of data

module. 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 button for 0.5 seconds to trigger auxiliary output 1. Tap button for 0.5 seconds to trigger auxiliary output 2.

The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once indicating that the auxiliary outputs have been triggered.

The system is in secure auxiliary mode, which requires you to hold buttons for 2.5 seconds prior to triggering auxiliary 1 or 2.

STEP 1: Activate Valet/Programming mode by manually turning the ignition key on and off (between the Acc & On positions) five times within 7 seconds. The

vehicle’s parking lights will flash once with the successful completion of this step.

STEP 2: Within a second after cycling the ignition for the 5th time, tap the Lock button once for 0.5 second. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the

transmitter has been coded.

Programming Multiple Remotes: After the confirmation flash given in STEP 2, code additional remotes by

pressing the single button on remote. The parking lights will flash once confirming each additional remote. The CM-600

and CM-1300 can store up to three remotes.

Exiting Programming: Programming is a timed sequence. If you can not get the remote(s) to program then the

system enters Valet Mode. The parking lights will flash twice signaling the end of programming

IMPORTANT: The AR-600R remotes are preprogrammed to your system. In the even you need to program your remotes follow this simple procedure below.
