[s-cars] Clutch/Start Safety Switch

94 S4 yes, starts any time I turn the key, but the instructions state
to depress clutch and then start. I really dislike the switch 'feature'
which was on sumthin I used to have. Create the force of habit, foot
goes down, key turns... The odd time when I want to reach in from the
passenger door and start er up, I know that it will work and that the
car is in nuetral and the ebrake is on.
