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 visit 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. 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.
Once the vehicle shuts off your system is in reservation mode and the vehicle is ready to
safely remote start. When in reservation mode, a start availability icon will be displayed on
the remote LCD
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.
Trunk Release
Hold button (III) for 2.5 seconds to release the trunk or hatch. If you are in range, the remote
will beep once and the trunk icon will illuminate indicating that the trunk release command has
been successfully transmitted. IMPORTANT: Trunk release is an optional vehicle feature that may
require additional parts and labor.
Auxiliary Outputs/Window Roll-Down/Sliding Doors
Your system is equipped with two additional outputs that can be configured to control windows, open
power sliding doors, open a power sliding moon roof, or even turn on a rear defroster. These outputs
can be configured for pulsed, timed or latched settings. Your authorized CompuStar dealer can set
these outputs up accordingly. Using auxiliary outputs to control additional vehicle functions will require
additional parts and can be rather labor extensive.
