Safety Information Safety 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 automobile, the CompuStar system should be 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 the switch has been installed improperly, the vehicle may start when Button II is pressed for 2 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 Compustar, 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 2WSSR is installed in a manual transmission vehicle, extra precautions are required because the Compustar does not monitor the gear shift:

Important! Under normal circumstances, Reservation Mode is cancelled when a door or hatchback opens. Please verify if the opening of any door or hatchback cancels Reservation Mode. If any of the doors or hatchback is not monitored by CompuStar because of improper installation or a faulty dome light switch, do not use the CompuStar 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.

AutoAuto--Start FunctionStart Function

Press Button II for 2 seconds to auto-start an automatic transmission engine. Remember that a manual key in the ignition is required to drive the car. In addition,

the anti-grind circuit (this maybe an optional feature provided by your installer) prevents you from re-cranking the starter on a remote-started vehicle. Press Button II for 2 seconds in order to turn off an auto-started car. For manual transmission vehicles, please use reservation mode. The engine will run 15 or 25 minutes (25 or 40 min for diesel) depending on preset options at the time of installation and then shut off. If your remote has a problem starting the vehicle, CompuStar will try 2 additional times. If the engine does not start after the third attempt, please call your authorized CompuStar dealer.

Continuation Mode:

While your vehicle is running with your key, if you press button II for 2 seconds, you are now in the continuation mode. Your engine will continue running for the preset time even if you take your key from the ignition. With this mode, the engine will continue running without key during your quick stop at, for example, a grocery store.

Error Reason

Reservation Mode (manual transmisReservation Mode (manual transmission only)sion only)

In order to auto-start your manual transmission car, you must first set the CompuStar system to Reservation Mode before leaving your vehicle. The purpose of Reservation Mode is to leave the transmission gear in the neutral position when you leave your vehicle. Reservation mode is intended for use in MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY and NOT FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. Reservation Mode must be engaged each and every time you leave your manual

transmission car in order to auto-start the vehicle.

Note: The system is not recommended for vehicles with removable tops.

Important Requirements to activate Reservation Mode

• The transmission must be in the NEUTRAL position.

• The vehicle windows must be rolled up.

• Do not set the reservation mode with people in the vehicle.

• Do not auto-start the car with people in the vehicle.

Activating Reservation Mode (MANUAL TRANSMISSION ONLY)

Step 1: After arriving at your destination, and BEFORE TURNING YOUR ENGINE

OFF, place the transmission in the Neutral position.

Step 2: Remove your foot from the foot brake. Step 3: Activate the parking brake. Step 4: Remove the key from the ignition. The engine will remain running. Step 5: Exit the vehicle and close the door within two minutes after activating the

parking brake. The engine will shut off and reservation mode for the remote starter is now complete.

Your vehicle is now ready for auto-starting. However, the reservation mode will be cancelled if the door is opened or the CompuStar system is put in Valet mode after the reservation has been set. Once cancelled, you will have to start the vehicle with the manual key and repeat the above 5 steps if you want to restore reservation mode.

Important! If you try to auto-start the vehicle when reservation mode has not been set or turned on, the auto-start feature will not work. When you press the auto-start button, the car parking lights will flash five times. A couple of seconds later, the cause for the error will be indicated by the number of times the car chirps and parking lights flash. See Page __ for error messages.

Canceling Reservation Mode

If you do not want to set reservation mode, shut off the engine before you exit the vehicle. The engine will shut off for the following reasons:

• You did not activate the parking brake or press the foot brake when you

turned the manual key to the off position.

• You released the parking brake while the engine was running.

• You entered Valet Mode after the Reservation Mode has been

completed.
