For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

My car is manual but has an automatic handbrake which prevents a push start. I hate it with a passion.
Rip that shit out.
I honestly would if I could. A few times I've started the car and gotten a "handbrake error" which has left me stranded until the Google told me I need to take the key out of the ignition, lock the doors and wait for the car to go into low power mode then try again. Fuck automatic handbrakes.
Apart from that the car is pretty great though. Uses almost no fuel and has lasted forever, touch wood. 15 years old now and going strong.
Oh sorry, the oil filter is buried in the middle of the engine and the battery was an absolute nightmare to replace because it was also buried. Two things that should be easy peasy to sort out yourself.
But apart from that it's been a great car. Honestly. :D
There has got to be a way to disable that. Not being able to bump start a manual transmission car is a sacrilege.
You know I didn't check but it auto engages on engine shutdown. I must check it out.
