Safety Information
Please take these safety precautions into
consideration under the following conditions:
1. Servicing the vehicle
When servicing (i.e. changing the oil, washing your
car) your automobile, the CompuStar system should
bein ValetMode. There isa safetyshutdownswitch
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
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 barrower
from accidentally activating the CompuStar auto-
security system.
3. For manual transmission vehicles
If the Compustar 1WFM4R 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 are not being monitored by
the 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.
