If you have a 2012 onwards Punto does your car have a safety device requiring the clutch to be depressed before starting?

Click to expand...

yes.., but no.

what exactly are you asking..??

Do you need to have the clutch down before the ignition will start? Mine doesn't have this. I thought all modern cars did

I tend to depress the clutch pedal as a matter of course...

What ignition are you referring to..??

The keycode immobiliser cuts fuel..and therefore suppresses ignition/combustion.

OP is asking if the starter motor is disabled by the clutch pedal switch , when clutch pedal is up.

This is very common in USA so that the average person can't try and start car in gear with clutch pedal up.

Some cars with a start/stop system on you have to press clutch down to enable start sequence.
These cars/makes i know of as we have had them in the past did (mini - vauxhall(mokka)) we currently have a focus ecoboost boost but i haven't driven or started that yet so iam not sure for fords.
However with the fiat system in punto (and 500 you dont)
