you have to leave it in neutral or it will go crashing into something.
The clutch defeat whatever system is just getting around the switch under the clutch pedal, noting pushed the clutch pedal down for you.

The coldest it ever gets here, is about 5.. It's december, so right now its about 20 in the morning, so as I'm getting ready for work, Ill run out and start er up, put on heated seat, defrost, and leave my phone in there so it can bluetooth connect to the stereo, after that Ill run back in and finish getting ready.. So it warms up prob about 5-10 mins before I leave.. But when I get in, seat is toasty, windows defogged, phone is connected and shes ready to go

With a manual you usually have to prepare the car to be remote started (as in the car in neutral with the parking brake on) and then get out and turn the engine off and set the alarm with the remote. It'll only allow you to remote start the car if you have not unlocked the car since turning the engine off via the remote.

I have a remote Start on my Tib so I let it warm up for 10min sometimes close to 15min but after 15min it shuts off and I would have to restart it!

I get really weirded out in the winter time if i dont allow my car to warm up for at least 5 mins. And especially since this is my first winter with my tiburon i tend to baby her a lil to much hahaha!

but mind you....here in West Aus the coldest the car will ever see is prob about -2 C
but when its cold i'll just keep the revs lowish (under 3 grand) but drive it normally till i notice the temp gauge starting to move
