B. Auto Relock (This differs from Auto Mode as it is available on all CompuStar systems)
This setting monitors the system and automatically relocks/rearms your CompuStar if the doors have not been open and system accidentally

The runtime must be set by your CompuStar dealer. You have the option of having your vehicle run for 3 minutes, 15 minutes, 25 minutes, or
45 minutes. Your vehicle will run for the set time but you can also reset the run time.

will only come on upon disarm of your CompuStar.
E. Starter Kill
Additional installation may be required for this feature. This feature disables the vehicle when the CompuStar is armed and alarm triggered.
When starter kill is enabled you are unable to start the vehicle with the key.
F. Anti Grind
Additional installation may be required for this feature. When you remote start your vehicle and disarm and enter you must put the vehicle’s
key in the ignition and turn it forward. When you turn the key forward there is a chance of overturning the starter. With anti-grind installed then

the thief will not be able to restart.
H. Dual Stage Shock Sensor (Only Available on Alarm and Alarm/Starter Systems)
When your alarm is armed this sensor will register light and heavy impact to your vehicle. When light impact is detected, your siren will chirp
four times as a warn away alert. When heavy impact is detected, your siren will sound for 30 or 60 seconds depending on setting by your
installer. Please allow at least 30 seconds after arming your system for the shock sensor to fully activate.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Please take these safety precautions under the following conditions:
1. Servicing the vehicle
5
When servicing (i.e. changing the oil, washing your car) your vehicle, the CompuStar system should be placed in Valet Mode. There
is a safety shutdown switch under the hood that deactivates the remote starter function if the hood is open. However, if the switch has
been damaged or has been installed improperly, the vehicle may start when the Circle button is held down for 2.5 seconds even if the
hood is open.
2. Loaning your vehicle to others
Whenever you loan your vehicle to an individual who is not familiar with the CompuStar system, please put the vehicle in Valet
Mode. This will prevent the vehicle loaner from accidentally activating the CompuStar auto-security system.
3. For manual transmission vehicles
If the CompuStar 2WSH-LED is installed in a manual transmission vehicle, extra precautions should be taken as the system does not
monitor the gear placement.
Important!
Under normal circumstances, Reservation Mode is cancelled when a door or rear hatch opens. Please verify that the opening of any door or
rear hatch cancels Reservation Mode. If any of the doors or rear hatch are not monitored by the CompuStar due to improper installation or a
faulty door or dome light switch, do not use the ComupStar and take your vehicle to the dealer immediately for repair. Do not set Reservation
Mode when the window(s) are open or if there is anyone inside of the vehicle including animals.
