You're confusing it with valet mode?

Uprev has an anti-theft mode in which the car won't start.

But like Mike stated it's a low risk.

Make sure you valuables are covered in a rare event though.

Technically they're not really named modes. It's just a set of engine parameters you can tune, and if you don't need 5 different sets for driving, you can customize some of them for security/valet-type purposes. I'm not sure what UpRev uses for a no-start setting, perhaps they turn off fueling and spark completely via the maps.

I do a valet map that allows 4K rpm and 35 MPH, and then a security mode that allows 3K RPM and 5 MPH, but the car is still on it's normal engine parameters otherwise. This makes it easy to leave the car running while I make a quick run into a store or whatever (or while it idles in my driveway warming up for the morning, and I'm inside having coffee), and not have to worry that some jackass will break open the door/window and be able to drive it off. If he tries, I can just walk behind him until he gets bored and decides to get out of the car :P
