"Both Pedals Pressed, motor power removed"

[RSpanner]

Regen works, brakes work, just the audio warning and message on screen every time brakes pressed. Annoying, and three weeks until mobil service.

Never Mind...SOMEONE!!! put the floor mat over the pedal!!! mobil service canceled...

It's happened before to me as well. It's the strangest feeling. Interesting that you had an audible warning. When this happened with my Volt, I never got anything until I pulled over and looked into the driver footwell. This was particularly prevalent when using molded nets lie Weathertech. Nothing wrong with the brand, just the user who was not paying attention

Some explanation might help, but probably not.

I wish I didn’t need to be in track mode to not get this warning . I often brake with my left foot and the car really doesn’t like it outside of Track Mode, haha.

Usually done by someone who has never driven manual shift cars regularly in the past...

Please explain.

With a clutch (manual transmission), one would usually not be able to use their left foot to brake.
With an automatic, left brake & right accelerator is doable.

Try listening to what it's saying. Odds are that it is correct. Get someone to watch your feet while driving.

Heh. I've left-foot braked in a manual. Only on a track though, never on the street.

Having driven only manuals for my first ~15 years and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road (plus dirt bikes for years before that), I do understand this.

I just wanted to make sure I understood his implication to be “hah, clearly you aren’t a real driver.” And I wanted to make sure I understood his assumption that the only valid use for the left foot is clutching, even for “real” drivers.

Heh, yeah, I used "usually" for a reason.

Dirt bikes? Ok, once hand controls come into the picture all bets are off.

Left foot braking can be dangerous. That is how old ladies driving Buicks often wind up with their cars inside of convenience stores.

And yet sometimes your carburetor is messed up and you need to keep RPMs up to prevent stalling (and loss of vacuum boosted brakes) while stopping.
Then handbrake, clutch, and accelerator to get moving again, if on a slope.

Ah, the good old days...

Or little old men.
