    Because that's the way your company wants it set up as far as the auto performance.

    The manual setting requires you to press & HOLD it in until it switches. Usually 3 or 4 seconds.
    Or it could be the way the company wants it set up also.

    I wonder why that would be an benefit to the company, Is it possible to engage the function at a later time, or will it not be possible ?

    Anyone with an ECM hookup could change the parameters but that would be considered tampering with the equipment which would probably lead to termination.
    I suggest you talk to someone at your company and inquire about it. You never know, they may change some things
