Simple car design question.
We have a cousin that parked her 1992 Mustang GT with a 5 speed transmission at our house for a week. I had to move the car and that was easy enough except to get the key out of the ignition was a pain. It took a couple of minutes to find the button on the bottom of the steering wheel to release the key.
It had nothing to do with putting it in gear or depressing the clutch or the emergency brake. Turn the key off to kill the car and the dang key will not come out of the ignition unless you push the button.
What is the design purpose of that button? Why is it even there? I don't drive a lot of different cars. How many manufacturers have that designed into the system and why?
It make no sense to me.
