Question on Boxster Pedal Switches

[kanu]

The clutch pedal has two switches, although I'm not quite sure why.

You want the cruise control to disengage as soon as you begin to depress the clutch. You don't want the starter to be able to engage until the clutch is fully depressed. A single switch on the clutch pedal wouldn't be able to fulfill both of these functions.

That's a pretty good point, I never thought to check the engagement points of the clutch pedal itself. I guess one is high travel, and one is low travel.
