If you're speaking of moving from the Park position to any other gear (or
into Park), then the answer is yes. For the most part, all vehicles have
that safety feature. The same as most manual shift vehicles have switches on
the clutch, to prevent the vehicle from being started without the clutch
disengaged.

I hate that ing thing - i disable it first chance i get.There are
times i've HAD to start it in gear 9you will even find reasons given
in the UK highway code)As far as i can tell, thats an american only
'feature' - perhaps better drivers education ni the proper method of
driving a MT car would be more appropriate.

relax. the uk has nowhere /near/ the cold temps a lot of the u.s.
experiences. cranking a cold engine with a cold battery on top of cold
transmission oil is not a reliable way to start a car. making sure
users fully depress the clutch ensures the engine starts more quickly,
using less fuel, and more reliably. ok?

The same could be said of DRL, but we have an over abundance of people that
disconnect that safety feature. Just because a vehicle has it doesn't mean
the owners are smart enough to leave it connected. <g>
