Start up with clutch only?

370zAngler · 09-17-2020, 04:23 AM

Yesterday I noticed a change in starting the Z from clutch + brake + push start to clutch + push start, is there a way to switch between the 2? I have no clue as to how it would have happened.

Ive never had to step on the brake to start the car. Sure you just werent hitting the brake pedal along with the clutch out of habit or something?

I think you have to hit the brake with the 7AT?
I've never had to push both to start, and the pod has never shown me having to push both.

Agreed. I can confirm that you only need to press clutch pedal to start a manual car. Automatic car requires brake pedal.

Neither my 2019 370z or 2008 3.5 Altima Coupe need brake pressed, and both show the same clutch + start graphic.

It's showing that you have to push the clutch in first, then press the start button next. Does not show that you have to press the brake pedal.

I've been seeing this pop up more often recently with people thinking they need to press the brake and clutch to start our cars.... not sure who started it but whoever did needs to be smacked upside the back of their head

This has happened to me before. I think it's a case of hitting the start button a fraction too early before the system has had to the chance to register the clutch pedal is actually fully pressed. Simply release clutch, press clutch in again, press start

For manual Z's it's always been: Clutch pressed in and while holding it down, pressing the push to start and once it starts going, you take your foot off the clutch.
