“It’s my understanding the Prius has a button to turn it on or off.”
Which brings me back again the the damn computer. The driver presses the OFF button the tell the computer (read “driver-vehicle interface) to shut the car down. The computer somehow figures that turning off is not the prudent thing to do given the current states of its numerous inputs such as road speed, RPM, etc.
I want foot pedals directly to my brake hydraulic system, cables to the clutch and accelerator, a manual switch straight the the electrical and ignition systems, and a mechanical shifter linkage. The 1969 beetle has no power steering, no power brakes, and doesn’t need them. I AM IN CONTROL!!!
Now if I could just disable the steering wheel lock.......
Don’t need to disable the steering lock on a ‘69 Beetle. The steering won’t lock unless you turn the key about 1/2 of a turn after the ignition shuts off. No way to do it by accident.
My first car was a ‘69 Beetle, loved that car.
