Reminds me of a hired manual Renault (iirc) a few years ago.
Required you to depress the clutch (or was it the clutch and
brake?) before it would start. Spend five minutes waiting for
the breakdown emergency number to find the answer, even
though it had an "information" screen.

No manuals left in hire car, of course.

My S-Max says 'Press clutch to start'!

You do have to wonder why they dont all do something
as obvious as that. Presumably its an invention thing and
takes a while before everyone notices its the best way.
