M/T WITH CLUTCH INTERLOCK CANCEL SYSTEM : System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Xterra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The clutch interlock cancel (clutch start) switch allows for starting the engine without depressing the clutch pedal by bypassing the clutch interlock switch. The clutch interlock cancel system is canceled once the ignition switch is turned OFF. Once the clutch interlock cancel system is activated, the starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between the battery and the starter motor. The starter motor is grounded to the cylinder block. With power and ground supplied, the starter motor operates.
