Turn the car off, shift to 4th gear, press break, break and windshield wiper, then turn it back on to enter Developer Mode
I have a motorcycle that uses a keyfob, there’s a sequence of events using the stop-run switch and the turn signals so you can enter a code and get the bike to start.
What motorcycle is that?
Harley-Davidson Nightster.
The fob is actually my only complaint about the bike. It’s nice that it’s ready to start when you walk up to it, but it still has a key to unlock the steering. The fob is just uneccesary, could have included the immobilier in the key like car companies have been doing since the 1990’s.
I was at a HD dealership recently trying to find out why so many people like Harleys. I test rode a Sportster 48, and then the salesperson tried to direct me to a Nightster. I think I sat on it but I declined to ride it because I didn’t want to be riding a 93hp bike after just a month of experience riding a slow 250. Definitely want to try one out sometime next year though.
The Nightster is leaps and bounds above the 48. I cam certainly understand not wanting to jump from a 250 to a 975! One thing that helps me there is the different riding modes, it feels like a 250 when it’s in rain mode.
The Sportster 48 is technically a 1200. One that makes less power than a 650, but still a 1200.
If I test ride I’ll definitely try out all the modes.
You joke but my old FJ Cruiser requires you to turn the key to accessory, turn it off, turn the key back to accessory, open and close the door three times, turn the key back off, turn the key to accessory while holding the odometer reset button for 5 seconds and then it will enter pairing mode for the remote fob.
It made me feel the same joy as pressing the option on my Android phone 5 times to enter development mode back in the mid 2010s but it gets old quick.
We need to test a vehicle on a dynamometer and to get the transmission into dyno mode it was something like that, press brake 3 times, press the button on the shift selector twice, move to neutral then reverse 3 times, etc, it was a super long combo. It was so satisfying to see the CAN message that we entered test mode
They could’ve stopped at step 3 but they gave you 8 more steps to feel like a true hacker.
That sounds like the automotive hokey-pokey I had to do with my 06 corolla for the key fob.
08 Toyota FJ so we likely had the same sequence ✊
And for this next trick, we will dance the macarena while reciting the alphabet backwards and jumping on one foot!
Built in sobriety test, how nice!
why do people insist on talking relatively recent content and plagiarizing it mere days later? karma is even less meaningful here. what is the point?
I think it’s not Lemmy users plagiarising each other, it’s different Lemmy users plagiarising the same Reddit content.
weird way to say “reposting”
That’s the clutch and break you fucking idiot.
If you press the gas pedal long enough, you see a rewind of your life
But if you press the brake too hard, it’ll break… Sorry for being a disappointment :(
True! But only the Teslas do this
With my face on the windshield? Idk I don’t drive
The image shows the clutch and brake being pressed though…
Probably a gen-z trying to make jokes about cars.
That’s the clutch and brake pedals…
Exactly. They take a screenshot.
The fools, this actually reboots the car into safe mode!
Joke appart, this is the proper way to do an emergency braking.
And if you have an acceleration-activated dash-cam this could cause it to trigger, which is as near to a screenshot as you’re getting!
Wow, this post isn’t even a meme anymore at this point !
USA citizen having no clue about the existence of manual gear-box in vehicles, probably.
Yeah well it’s hard when you hear all your life if you mess up once you blow the transmission,.which is a several grand repair, nobody with a manual will ever let you practice on their car and well hey automatics are everywhere and don’t have that headache.
That’s not true, a money shift is very rare.
If you were near me I would help you learn on any of my stick vehicles, it’s pretty easy one you have some practice.
They may have exaggerated the risk of a money shift a tiny bit. Stalling is easy, but blowing the car up has to be hard.
I’ve nearly shifted into 2nd gear from 4th before, the car was NOT happy, but there were no explosions. Granted, I didn’t fully let up the clutch, but still. Mistakes happen.
I shift from 4th into 2nd all the time when in city traffic before taking a turn, so I’m pretty confused why that would be an issue.
Unless you wanted to shift up and brainfarted and shifted down instead. But it’s pretty hard to hammer in a gear that is way too low for your current speed. There will be a lot of physical resistance and that grinding noise before the gear snaps in.
I was going highway speeds, I was going from 4th to 5th but decided to go back into 4th (or something to that effect, it was a while ago now). The shifting itself was easy because I had the clutch in, but as soon as I started to lift off the clutch it got pissed
Nah, you just can’t without being a complete psychopath I guess force in a too wrong gear, the sync won’t be able to spin so fast that you can actually put in a ridiculous gear.
And reverse is usually not synced so even harder.
You would really have to do it on purpose to blow up your transmission. These guys had to try pretty hard

nobody with a manual will ever let you practice on their car
I’m sorry that happened to you. IMO folks are way more precious about their manual transmissions than they need to be. I’ve taught several people to drive stick – including myself, in a brand-new car I drove home from the dealer in rush-hour stop-and-go traffic – and it’s never hurt anything. (That brand-new car still had its original clutch when it was sadly totaled by a falling tree, 100k miles later.)
Same, I learned on a brand new car, on my own, and taught a couple other people with it, and it still had the original clutch when the transmission linkage broke at 187k (basically totaled at that point, just pulling out enough to get to the transmission would have cost more than the car was worth at that point… Low end Chevy’s don’t hold much value as it turns out)
The clutch is meant to slip, that’s literally how they work. As long as you aren’t riding it partially engaged for hundreds or thousands of miles, you probably won’t burn it out. If they were as delicate as people treated them, they wouldn’t have been the choice for racing for as long as they were after automatics hit the scene.
Nah, they just don’t want you to drive their car. Chance of a money shift is extremely low, and it doesn’t usually happen while learning. Money shifts really happen when you are trying to drive too fast, and you downshift more than 2 gears quickly. Most learners have trouble keeping the RPMs up high enough to money shift. I was perpetually shifting at 1.3k when learning and you can pretty much go from 6 to 2 without money shifting at those low revs.
Third pedal is there tho
The third pedal becomes invisible to the ignorant minds.
They just added the caption. If the creator of this were capable of making the drawing, they would do something more with their life than memes.
You can’t find an image of pushing the brake and throttle at the same time on wikihow.

Huh, I’m a little surprised it doesn’t have articles on left-foot braking for racing or brake torque launches for drag-racing.
I haven’t driven a stick in over a decade and this meme upsets me.
US stick driver here, equally disappointed in the picture.
I think it makes the whole meme funnier personally
If you step on those pedals at the same time the car is just going to stop, that’s all, nothing funny.
Should’ve been gas and clutch for a nice big rev
Vvvvrrrrooooommm
There are literally dozens of us!
I didn’t see you at the convention in Munich last year.
Same.
But at least my car is less likely to get stolen!
As long as you don’t get car jacked 🙃 saw a headline a few months ago (a year ago?) That a young man got shot and killed because a car jacker couldn’t steal his car.
A little unnerving in Chicago where car jackings are relatively frequent.
Who needs a manual for daily commuting in 2023?
Geez you are pitiful
That would takes hundreds of pointless photos every trip.
Idk if I’m being elitist or flexing the fact that I’m poor but as a stick shift driver in the state of Vermont I often did this in winter to get the heat going granted I always had the clutch down as well
I think you’re flexing the fact that you have three legs tbh.
Life pro tip, you don’t have to push the clutch if you’re in neutral.
Left toe on clutch, right heel on brake, right toe on gas. Good for revving the car at the traffic light if the engine’s cold or if you’re a jackass.
Or if you want to downshift before a corner…
On a Mac it’s way more intuitive than this. You just … hold on, I have to look it up again.
Shift+CMD+3 is not that hard to remember
And what does that do exactly? Take a snapshot of the whole screen or just a selected portion? And does it copy to the clipboard or create a file? And where is the file? That shit actually is hard to remember, especially if you don’t do it every day. And it is in no sense of the word “intuitive”.
It’s the whole screen, if you want a selected portion, it’s CMD-SHIFT-4
Wait, the first one had + and this one has -, I don’t know how any of this works now…
Different people, different joiners.
This is an emergency stop
Why do it want to do this?
For the record, in 99% of driving scenarios, you probably don’t want to press the brake and gas at the same time. For the 1%, you can do something called brake boosting. This is where on turbo cars, you brake to maintain a slower speed, at the same time you press the gas to spool up the turbo, which results in you having little to no turbo lag while racing.
You would also do this momentarily (with automatic) when starting from a stop on a steep upward incline, like certain San Francisco street intersections. Get the gas going slightly while holding the brake, then ease off to move forward without rolling back. Because the guy behind you is always too close for comfort.
Similar technique would be used for manuals as well. You’d heal-toe on a hill so you don’t roll back, same with downshifting and slowing down quickly to make a turn.
To perform an emergency stop (or a full stop in general, I suppose). The picture shows the brake pedal and the clutch pedal being pressed, not the gas and the brakes; you can see the accelerator to the right.
If you don’t free the clutch while coming to a stop, you’ll probably damage your car. This is especially important in scenarios where you can’t reliably shift down fast enough to keep up with the car’s deceleration, for example when doing an emergency stop.
In normal braking scenarios you probably want to keep the clutch engaged until you hit a low RPM (where the engine running without acceleration is trying to accelerate the car, rather than braking on engine power alone). That way, if you need to accelerate to evade, you can do so quickly without connecting the clutch first.
you can share your screenshot with the mechanic before you go in for repairs
In an automatic car. It’s a good way to do a burn out provided the engine has enough torque and the breaking is biased to the front.
I had an old car whose engine would die if it didn’t get gas, so you would always be giving it a bit of gas at all times. When you came to a stop, you had to push slightly down on the gas and all the way down on the brake, otherwise the engine would shut off.
Also would allow you to take the key out of the ignition while the car was running and it would keep running so you could unlock house doors with your keys. My parents actually sent it into the shop to “fix” that. I still don’t know why they spent money to get rid of a feature. Were they afraid I would leave it on without the keys? The engine would just die without someone to push down on the gas petal.
I had a car that needed gas, and was a stick shift. I called the technique three footing. Basically I jammed my heel on the brake and raked my toes on the gas pedal to keep the engine running at a light or stop sign.
And if you take your shifter and go up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, brake, gas, you’ll add 30 months back onto your warranty!
Now I kinda wish there’s some equivalent graphic of someone doing heel-toe so you’d see all 3 pedals being mashed lol.
Probably better for your car than just the brake and gas as well
