Safety InformationSafety 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.

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.

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.

•The transmission must be in the NEUTRAL position.
•The vehicle windows must be rolled up.

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

starter is now complete.
