for 2 seconds to auto-start an automatic transmission engine.
Remember that a manual key in the ignition is required to drive the car. In
addition, the
anti-grind circuit
(this maybe an optional feature provided by your
installer) prevents you from re-cranking the starter on a remote-started vehicle.
Press Button

for 2 seconds in order to turn off an auto-started car. For manual
transmission vehicles, please use reservation mode.
The engine will run 15 or 25 minutes (25 or 40 min for diesel) depending on
preset options at the time of installation and then shut off. If your remote has a
problem starting the vehicle, CompuStar will try 2 additional times. If the engine
does not start after the third attempt, please call your authorized CompuStar
dealer.
Continuation Mode:
While your vehicle is running with your key, if you press button II for 2 seconds,
you are now in the continuation mode. Your engine will continue running for the
preset time even if you take your key from the ignition. With this mode, the
engine will continue running without key during your quick stop at, for example, a
grocery store.
