General System Functions
Hold the key/start button for 2.5 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission vehicle. If you are in range and if the vehicle is ready to remote
start, the vehicle parking lights will flash once. The remote will beep once to confirm proper remote starting and then 4 times if unlocked/disarmed.
(6 times if locked/armed)
If you are in range, the parking lights on the vehicle will flash three times followed by a certain number after that, there is a remote start error. Refer
to the “remote start error diagnostic” on the last page of this manual for details. The remote will beep 3 times followed by 2 LED flashes.
Upon receiving confirmation that your vehicle is running, the parking lights will light solid. The LED on the remote will flash every other second to
represent remote start run time. The remote start run time can be programmed for 3, 15, 25, or 45 minutes - ask your local CompuStar dealer to
adjust Option 2-7 if you would like a run time other than 15 minutes (default).
IMPORTANT: The 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 vehicle will shut off.
