ALET MODE

Valet Mode bypasses the functions of your remote starter. It is used in the event you bring your vehicle in for service, loan your vehicle to
someone, or if you have your vehicle parked by valet service. Valet Mode is used as a precaution so there is no accidental activation of the
remote start.

To place your system into Valet Mode you must turn the Ignition On and Off for 5 times within 7 seconds with key. When the parking lights
flash once, pauses and then flashes twice, your system is now in Valet Mode. Please follow this diagram below:

IAGNOSTIC MESSAGES

1. Whenever the system fails to remote start, the vehicle provides you with diagnostic error messages: # of times parking lights flash. The
vehicle will first flash the parking lights 3 times followed by the remote start error.

2. Depending on the vehicle, it may be possible that the factory remote may not operate while the vehicle is remote started. It is not an
error the CompuStar. It is a function of the vehicle disabling factory features while the car is running.

ANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES

To use the remote-start function on a manual transmission vehicle, you must first set Reservation Mode. Reservation mode sets the vehicle up
to safely start the next time you use the remote-start. To set Reservation Mode, follow these steps:

1. Completely stop the vehicle and put it in NEUTRAL.

2. Set the emergency brake and remove your foot from the foot brake.

3. A few seconds later you should hear a “click”.

4. Turn the key off and remove it from the ignition. The vehicle will stay running.

5. Exit the vehicle and close the door.

6. The vehicle will shut off, the system will arm, and the doors will lock.

Reservation Mode has now been set. The following actions will cancel Reservation Mode; opening the hood, doors, or trunk, turning on the
ignition, releasing the emergency brake, turning on the ignition, or triggering the alarm. If reservation mode is cancelled, you will need to get in
the vehicle and repeat the setup process.

DDITIONAL FEATURES

A. Remote Start Runtime
The runtime must be set by your CompuStar dealer. You have the option of having your vehicle run for 15 minutes or 25 minutes, or 25 or 45
minutes if you have a diesel engine.

B. Anti Grind
Additional installation may be required for this feature. When you remote start your vehicle and enter you must put the vehicle’s key in the
ignition and turn it forward. When you turn the key forward there is a chance of overturning the starter. With anti-grind installed then you
cannot over grind your starter on your vehicle.

C. Upgradeability
The CM1000S is a stand alone remote start system. The functionality of this system is very basic and lacks a few features of a standard remote
start on our upgradeable series. However it is possible to upgrade to one of many remotes in the CompuStar line. You can only upgrade to the
remotes in the CompuStar line and not the Pro Series. Please check with your authorized CompuStar dealer for more details.

AFETY INFORMATION

Please take these safety precautions under the following conditions:

1. Servicing the vehicle

When servicing (i.e. changing the oil, washing your car) your vehicle, the CompuStar system should be placed in Valet Mode. There
is a safety shutdown switch under the hood that deactivates the remote starter function if the hood is open. However, if the switch has
been damaged or has been installed improperly, the vehicle may start when the Circle button is held down for 2.5 seconds even if the
hood is open.

2. Loaning your vehicle to others

Whenever you loan your vehicle to an individual who is not familiar with the CompuStar system, please put the vehicle in Valet
Mode. This will prevent the vehicle loaner from accidentally activating the CompuStar auto-security system.

3. For manual transmission vehicles

If the CompuStar 2WSH-LED is installed in a manual transmission vehicle, extra precautions should be taken as the system does not
monitor the gear placement.

Important!

Under normal circumstances, Reservation Mode is cancelled when a door or rear hatch opens. Please verify that the opening of any door or
rear hatch cancels Reservation Mode. If any of the doors or rear hatch are not monitored by the CompuStar due to improper installation or a
faulty door or dome light switch, do not use the ComupStar and take your vehicle to the dealer immediately for repair. Do not set Reservation
Mode when the window(s) are open or if there is anyone inside of the vehicle including animals.
