CompuSTAR 2WFMR Diagnosing problems with Auto-Start, Reservation Mode manual transmission only

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-pager 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.

Flashing Battery Icon during remote start. The battery icon flashes while engine running. Each of the 4 bars of the battery indicates 25% of the remaining engine running time.

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.

Reservation Mode (manual transmission 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
