You are seriously telling us that you've never started the car before with a door open?? In the time you made the post, you could've found out for yourself!!

I thought long and hard about why this question is being asked... the only thing I can think of is he has CA and he wants to know if it works w/o the driver being in the car completely???

Just a guess..otherwise... WTF!?!

Why would you take the time to post the question instead of just checking yourself.

Here is my question, how much gas is in my tank?

When the gas gauge indicates 1/2 tank....
does it mean its 1/2 full...or 1/2 empty....

Not to get too technical, but he'd have to have his foot on the brake, or clutch to start the engine. Might make a good UTube video...

if you don't press the clutch in a manual, car will not start, I believe in an Auto, the brake pedal should be pressed - but I could be wrong. Start has nothing to do with door open/close.
