1. Can this be changed, so it can be euro-style that no clutch needs to be depressed to start the car?
2. Can the car be "bump started" Such as if you push a manual and you drop the clutch while they key is on and its in second gear the car will start even with a dead battery?
Car can be bump started but there is a trigger that needs to be momentary for the clutch or you get no cruise control.
I realize that some people think that it's kind of a joke that all American cars do this while European cars don't but I implore you to find a valid reason to want to start the car without the clutch enabled. I think that the safety concerns are really to strong to want to disable it. Just my two cents though.
