In order to auto-start your manual transmission vehicle, you must first set the
CompuStar system to Reservation Mode before leaving your vehicle. The purpose
of Reservation Mode is to leave the transmission gear in the neutral position when
you leave your vehicle. Reservation mode is intended for use on MANUAL
TRANSMISSIONS ONLY and NOT FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.
Reservation Mode must be engaged each and every time you leave your manual
transmission vehicle in order to auto-start it.
Note:
The system is not recommended for vehicles with removable tops.

after the reservation has been set. Once cancelled, you will have to start the
vehicle with the key and repeat the above 5 steps if you want to restore reservation
