Start Button
I've noticed I can press the start button 1/2 second, then wait for the engine to start, or hold it down 2 or 3 seconds until the engine starts. Does it matter which method I use?

I noticed the other day you can hit the button then engage the clutch and the car will still start. Of course normally I engage the clutch then hit the button.
Not sure how long you can wait before engaging the clutch. I assume if you wait to long it wont start the car.

Sounds like this thread needs a poll to find out who is click guy (or gal) and who is a press and hold guy
Press and hold guy right here Got make sure you push that button good! No half measures in starting this guy's car. |

If you hold it more than 3 seconds, the car actually does not blow up! It's time to drop the joke. My question was real, because I know with regular key starting cars you could mess things up by keeping the key turned after the car started.

Greg, you got it wrong. Holding it for 10 seconds starts the passenger seat eject sequence. Tapping it ten times, initiates self destruct. Read page 164 of the manual under section X.12, article A.

I heard that if you hold it down for 10 seconds, push the DTC 5 times, turn the radio volume dial exactly 4 turns to the right and then push the emergency flashers you will get 10psi of additional boost.
This is becoming my favorite thread. |
