MANUAL 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, or triggering the alarm. If reservation mode is cancelled, you will need to get in the vehicle and repeat
the setup process.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
A. RPS – Remote Paging System – Optional on Alarm and Alarm/Starter systems
The RPS is an optional paging sensor mounted on your windshield. It is used to page the owner of a vehicle by tapping once. There is also an
LED on the RPS sensor that will blink when you arm your system.
B. Passive Mode
This setting monitors the system and automatically relocks/rearms your CompuStar once you open and close all the doors to your vehicle. You
have the option of the doors locking or not locking so you do not lock your keys in the vehicle. Please see your CompuStar dealer for details.
C. 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 Diesel Motor Only). Your vehicle will run for the set time. The icons will flash on your remote to show runtime. As the runtime
decreases the icons will shut off one at a time showing a quarter of the runtime.
D. Dome Light Supervision
Additional installation may be required for this feature. With this feature on you have dome light illumination for 30 seconds. The dome light
will only come on upon disarm of your CompuStar.
E. Starter Kill
Additional installation may be required for this feature. This feature disables the vehicle when the CompuStar is armed and alarm triggered.
When starter kill is enabled you are unable to start the vehicle with the key.
F. Anti-Grind
Additional installation may be required for this feature. When you remote start your vehicle and disarm 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, you
cannot over grind your starter on your vehicle.
G. Anti-Jacking
Additional installation may be required for this feature. This feature prevents a thief from stealing your car once they drive off. In the event that
you are car jacked and have your CompuStar remote in hand you just panic the system. After 30 seconds of panic your vehicle will shut off and
the thief will not be able to restart.
H. Dual Stage Shock Sensor (Only Available on Alarm and Alarm/Starter Systems)
When your alarm is armed this sensor will register light and heavy impact to your vehicle. When light impact is detected, your siren will chirp
four times as a warn away alert. When heavy impact is detected, your siren will sound for 30 or 60 seconds depending on setting by your
installer. Please allow at least 30 seconds after arming your system for the shock sensor to fully activate.
I. Factory Alarm Option (Only Available on Starter Only Systems)

Additional installation may be required for this feature. With the factory alarm option set it turns your starter only system into basic alarm.
With the system armed/locked and you open a door the parking lights will begin flashing and horn on your vehicle will honk.

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 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.
