That's not weird it's normal.

[@JWill6969]

That's not normal. The only care you have to press the brake for are push button. If it's a key, it should just start with a turn and turn only

[@doodlecaboodle9298]

​@@JWill6969 no. Lol. It's very very normal.

​@@doodlecaboodle9298 nah I have an older VW and it doesn't do that

[@frogsoda]

@@JWill6969 Every car or truck I've driven that's been made in the last 20 or 30 years, You have to push the brakes to start the car.

Nah where tf you from?😂

[@barnabyjones8333]

Not weird. You're just young.

[@fredmoss4540]

Well I'm old 60s had license since 1978. My current cars are 2000 Acura 3.2 TL with low mileage. We also have Honda Ridgeline Pickup 2007. You can start them without foot on brake. I have driven loaner Acura vehicles the newer ones had push button start. If the others with key I probably put my foot on brake by habit. But I have started cars from passenger seat.

[@colincarey1456]

No fr bro

[@markbarbee3454]

Should someone tell him about starting a car with a clutch?

[@nodak81]

You're comparing apples and oranges. Everybody knows manual cars require a foot on the clutch to start. However, I've never seen any automatic car (with key-start) require a foot on the brake. Push-button start of course, but never key-start. And I'm not talking about those crappy mid-2000s cars with smart key fobs you just stick in the dash to simulate a key, they don't actually do anything and function identically to a push-button car.

[@cherry_mk6883]

@nodak81, actually manual car's (JDM only) doesn't require clutch in for it to start.

[@angeldauno]

telling that kid about the clutch would literally cause a short circuit or a meltdown don’t do it😂😂

[@g1g3l]

​@@cherry_mk6883If it's in neutral yes, clutch is not required, but if it's in gear... It's a good habit to press the clutch when starting a car, I know plenty people who use the 1st gear as a handbrake when parking

[@davewilson7602]

You’re right although my friend got a 2024 Impreza with a key start and for some reason it doesn’t need the brake to start the engine

[@ExperiMentalDon]

Absolutely not.

[@Carl_Baltimore]

Just loud and wrong

[@crazydogman677]

I like that feature keep my nephews and nieces from turning on my truck and wasting gas

[@brokeboy87]

Its funny that your more concerned about wasting gas over the more serious risks.

[@yuanruichen2564]

@@brokeboy87it also prevents the risk of accidentally starting the car; and yes, wasting gas is no small deal, especially in places where gas is expensive

[@herbert3177]

man this has been the case in every automatic car I have driven

[@CJonesFL]

I thought his was a normal thing for years now?

[@rjmendoza]

It is a normal thing . All the from the key to the break and the shoes . They’re all normal

[@brute6896]

never seen this, for manual yes you need to step on clutch but never seen it for a keyed ignition, only for push start

[@WaveManMike]

Most people seem VERY young in the comments so I’ll explain. For cars with traditional keys like this, you didn’t have to press the brake pedal before. This didn’t really start until Push Button Start cars came along.

[@zachfila]

Even with key turn I was told to have your foot on the brake when starting it. I’m 30 yrs old

[@johnnyedify]

This procedure was not a thing when all cars started with a key ignition. What’s odd is VW is still using a key and you have to depress brake pedal.

[@DaxterAs]

No way bro even my 2001 needs you to press the brake to start. 😂 No way this isn’t on most cars post 1995.

[@WaveManMike]

@@zachfila I don’t mean for safety reasons, I mean the new cars literally will not start without it opposed to older cars

[@rainbowsheepz7703]

i didnt know automatics had to press on the break to start all i know is that you have to press down on the clutch and turn the key to start in a manual

[@Personalza23MD11]

It's not weird, it's normal. Plus it's a safety feature.

[@iL6o6v6e]

A lot of cars are like that

[@nodak81]

Such as?

[@iL6o6v6e]

@@nodak81 2006 Mercedes e63 to be specific I guess. But like most newer cars are like that.

[@nodak81]

@@iL6o6v6e You can only name one obscure car that very few people own, but "most newer cars are like that"? lol I've driven dozens of late model cars for work purposes and not a single one is like that. Only push-button cars require a foot on the brake. Not to mention that the e63 doesn't even have a key, it's just a wireless smart key fob. They make you insert it like a key but it isn't necessary as it functions the exact same way as a push-button car.

[@RicksterMW2]

[@rainbowsheepz7703]

how is that wierd thats the same thing as when you have to press down on the clutch and then turn the key to get the car running

[@thesausage351]

Not really weird. A lot of manual Hyundais need you to put your foot on the clutch to start them.

[@dallasfrost1996]

Yeah, though for an auto with key start, this is weird. Nowadays it's push button.

[@thesausage351]

@@dallasfrost1996 I guess it depends what you’re used to. I had a friend with a Mazda 929 that wouldn’t start without a seatbelt connected, foot on the brake, and the handbrake on, and you couldn’t shift out of park without either the foot or handbrake applied, I forget which one now, but I serviced the car for many years. I also had a Soarer that I think needed a foot on the brake to start and to shift from park. I guess I’ve driven a lot of cars through work and I have probably seen a lot of odd stuff and thought nothing of it.

[@initialyeet3951]

@@dallasfrost1996this is not weird, it’s the case in every automatic I’ve driven.

[@mikehawk6175]

Dude probably doesn’t know that you need to push the brake before you can shift out of park 😪

[@lukefleming0607]

That's a very normal feature on cars. Same for manual cars and you have to press in the clutch to start it

[@odeo5691]

I’ve done this naturally anyways. Same with always putting on my parking brake. The foot on the brake is just nice just in case. And the parking brake takes strain of the transmission instead of rolling onto it

[@alexflores8056]

I had a 2017 Jetta with 6-speed auto transmission. That’s how you start it. Very normal for VW Jetta.

[@Premier87]

What's even more weird is that in 2023 you still don't have a push start button?

[@stephaniepersin4222]

I bought a 2018 Jetta TSI SE. I still have a flip out key that i didnt use.

[@justcuzitsepic5874]

Really? 😂 Bro is talking about a car like he's talking about turning on a PC.

[@buster_757]

wait until this dude finds out what you have to do to start a manual

[@MrNightware]

VW have it over 10years by now. My 2010golf have same safety feature. Clutch/brake in when you start a car. Simple reason, world is full of not the brightest people who don't check if car is in neutral before starting the car. So it prevent such issues. 🎉

[@abhinab1112]

Bro was born in 2022. For him every normal things are weird

[@AndyKPOV]

That's normal. Some car in the 80's-99's had a safety switch for this.... Ever drive a manual? Lol

[@bucknut2000]

I've always done that but I've been driving before he was born probably

[@3down4togo]

Nah that’s how I learnt to start cars even to this day driving a hybrid even if it doesn’t have the system I’ll still put the foot the brake

[@3down4togo]

And mine was an 06 Jetta

[@rajgill7576]

Brakes= push button start. Key should just be key

[@cizzl]

wait until he finds out about manual transmissions and « why volkswagen do we have to use the clutch to shift »

[@user-sr5tl7vu2z]

OK instead put foot on the brake and push the start button, he have to put the foot on the brake and turn the key? that’s something. 🧐🧐

[@hal752]

Pretty much on every modern car.

[@ravioli_dj_0273]

It’s as normal as a car having an engine 😐😐😐

[@larktrail3301]

I had to do the same with a first gen chevy cruze when I was learning to drive which is pretty normal in other cars too

[@thearousedeunuch]

That's not weird. They just kept the "Press the brake pedal to start the car" code from the versions with push-button start. It's either a safety feature, laziness to remove that feature on cars with a regular key, or both.

[@Jakeborges1991]

That’s embarrassing

[@vote4pedrog]

Whats the issue?

[@DriftingStudent]

🤨🤨

[@toyota420xp]

It was weird for me too because my Corolla and my Camry and other cars didn't do that but when I had a 2015 Golf you have to do that

[@Ticodataco]

Honestly how is that a weird feature kids go into their parents car all the time if they can’t reach the pedal and can’t start it without doing both in my opinion amazing 👌

[@rayyanelmajjati350]

That's not weird that's normal

[@hx.925]

[@thepcenthusiastchannel2300]

My 2010 Passat CC was this way and my new 2024 Jetta GLI is this way (though push button start but with foot on the brake).

[@Saxonsredux]

This is a feature in most new cars. Hondas do the same thing.

[@DaxterAs]

I’ve literally only been in one car that didn’t have this. It was a 2024 kia and if you knocked the key with your knee it would also turn off in drive 😂🫥 Even most motorcycles have a brake or clutch safety switch 😂

[@mikegee8595]

The way his hands are calus I can tell he drives alot lol I used to have that same issue😊❤

[@justinalbarron2236]

You must have never owned a German car? 🤔

[@Viggggggr]

Engineer here just laziness is what it is or they want you to feel “push button” lexury as. Gimmick only push to start requires this for safety reasons aka u bump it by accident you don’t insert a key and turn it by accident

[@jace7312]

2022 Ford Escape Base model is also like that. So it's not really weird.

[@JD-vy3wv]

Ain't weird, just I guess not common anymore. I always do it at work pulling cars in out of habit.

[@UniUnknown]

I think the key is sensor based and you shouldn’t even need turn the ignition. That’s what my 2021 Volkswagen Golf does at least I assume the same goes for a newer Jetta. That Fob looks just like mine.

[@thumperjdm]

Should we tell him about pumping the gas pedal a couple of times before starting a car?

[@oscarwb3046]

You just found out about it? How have you been driving it then?

[@chrismc2288]

My car isn’t even like that but when I turn the key I have always put my foot on the brake
