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 beeps three times, the car parking lights will flash

five times and the siren chirps three times. A couple of seconds later, the cause
for the error will be indicated by the number of times the car chirps and parking
lights flash. See Page 11 for error messages.
