Diagnosing problems with Auto-Start 

If there is a problem in auto-starting your vehicle,the CompuStar system will do
one of two things; if it fails for any of the reasons listed in the table below, it will
flash the parkinglights three times then flash the error number. Otherwise, it will
attempt to start the vehicle three times. If, after three times, the vehicle will not
start or stay running, the CompuStar system will shut down. In either case, please
see your istaller to resolve the situation.

Step2 :

Within a 7 second period after cycling the ignition for the 5

th 

time,

Press the            button for a 1/2 sec.  The car parking lights will flash 

once to confirm that the transmitter has been programmed. You can 
continue programming additional remotes.  The parking lights will  

flash two times when the programming mode has expired.                      

To lock the vehicle, press the          button  for 0.5 seconds.
To unlock the vehicle, press the       button for 0.5 seconds.  If the pressing of the
lock/unlock buttons does not lock/unlock the doors, you will need to release the but-
ton and try again, as the remote stops transmitting as soon as the LED stops flash-
ing.  If the           button is pressed for 3.5 seconds, it will panic the system.

To arm the vehicle, press the          button until the LED on the remote stops flashing.
To disarm the vehicle, press the        button until the LED on the remote stops 
flashing.  If pressing the arm/disarm buttons does not arm/disarm the vehicle, you
will need to release the button and try again, as the remote stops transmitting as
soon as the LED stops flashing.
Press the                      buttons for a 1/2 second to mute the vehicle horn or siren
when arming or disarming your vehicle.  Keep in mind that your car horn/siren will
still activate for all other modes (i.e. panic or alarm trigger) regardless of whether or
not your car horn/siren is in mute mode.  The car horn/siren will be mute only when
arming or disarming your vehicle. 

When the alarm is armed, the starter kill function (an optional feature provided by
your installer) is activated.  This feature disengages the starter mechanism on your
vehicle and prevents it from starting, even with a key.

Note :

If you lose your remote after you have armed the vehicle, use your key
to open the door. The siren will go off.  Turn the ignition on then off,       
5 times with your key to shut down the alarm and put the system into 
valet mode.  You can cancel the valet mode with a remote later on.  
See :  Valet mode, on page 10.   

Step1:

Activate Valet/ Programming mode by manually 

turning the ignition on and off five times 

(between Acc and 

On)

with the key within a 7 second period.

The parking lights will flash once with successful completion of 
this step.

Note : 

Siren duration is 30 to 60 seconds depending on the options set at the 

time of initial installation.
