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
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.
