Reservation Mode (manual transmission only)

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