Reservation Mode (manual transmission only)

In order to auto-start your manual transmission vehicle, 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

CompuStar does not monitor the location of the gear. It is your responsibility to leave the transmission in the neutral position before you remote start. If the reservation is set when the transmission is in gear or if you move the transmission gear after the reservation is set, the engine will start and Firstech will not be responsible for any damages.

??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 use the auto-start with people in the vehicle.

??Do not set the reservation mode if the vehicle has a problematic door pin or dome light system.

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 remote will beep three times and the vehicle 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 vehicle parking lights flash. See Page 4 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, you pressed 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.

Error Messages

If there is a problem in auto-starting your vehicle, you will hear three chirps when you attempt to auto-start the vehicle. Wait for 2 seconds and the cause for the error will be indicated by the number of times the vehicle parking lights flash.
