Hi all,
I went to the dealer to check out a 2001 9-3SE conv (5 spd). I took the keys from the dealer, after the test drive, to check the sound system out. i turned the key in the ignition (foot on the brake), handbrake on, and just out of curiosity turned it all the way. i was so surprised to hear the engine almost roar to life! quite reflexively, i turned the key back. i tried a couple more times, but it didn't happen. but when i tried again after re-inserting the key, it happened again!
my nissan altima will not start unless the clutch is pressed all the way. is the behavior i observed typical of saabs (do they assume a higher level of driver maturity that they have done away with this particular safety feature;=)
thanks!
