IMPORTANT: Your vehicle’s key must be inserted into the ignition and turned to the “on” position prior
to driving your vehicle. If the foot brake is depressed prior to the key being in the “on” position, the

Manual Transmission Remote Start Function (Reservation Mode)
In order to remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must first be set in Reservation Mode.
Reservation Mode must be set each and every time you want to remote start a manual transmission
vehicle. The purpose of Reservation Mode is to leave the transmission in neutral before exiting the
vehicle.
IMPORANT;
• The transmission must be left in the neutral position.
• The vehicles windows must be rolled up.
• The vehicles door pins must be in working order.
• Do not install this remote start on a manual transmission vehicle that has a convertible or
removable top.
• Do not set reservation mode or remote start with people in the vehicle.
Activating Reservation Mode
STEP 1: While the vehicle is running, place the transmission in neutral, set the emergency / parking
brake, and remove pressure from the foot brake.
STEP 2: Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicle’s engine should remain running even
after the key has been removed. If the vehicle does not remain running make sure your system is not in
Valet mode and then contact your local authorized CompuStar dealer for service.
STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s engine should shut off within 10 seconds
upon closing the last door. Most motors will shut off instantly upon closing the last door. If the vehicle’s
engine does not shut off, your door trigger may be functioning improperly. Do not use the remote-start
feature and take your vehicle to a local authorized CompuStar dealer for service.
IMPORTANT: By default, the system will lock/arm the vehicle upon setting reservation mode. Take care
to not lock your keys inside the vehicle.
Cancelling Reservation Mode
Reservation mode will be cancelled for the following reasons;
• You did not activate the parking brake prior to turning off the ignition.
• You pressed the foot brake after the key was removed from the ignition.
• You released the parking brake after the key was removed from the ignition.
• You entered valet mode, opened the vehicles door, hood, trunk or set off the alarm.
Reservation Mode Settings
Reservation mode settings can be programmed with Option 1-6. It is recommended that reservation
mode settings are programmed by your local authorized CompuStar dealer.
Default 1: Locks doors when reservation mode is set.
Option 2: Does not lock doors when reservation mode is set.
Option 3: Reservation mode sets 10 seconds after the last door is closed, as opposed to immediately.
This option will allow you to access the vehicles rear doors, trunk or hatch prior to the system setting
reservation and passively locking/arming.
