Default Silly question about starting the car

With traditional (older) cars, you have to insert the key, turn it to crank the engine, and hold it in the start position until you hear/feel the ignition start.

With newer cars, you simply press a start button once, and let the car do the rest.

As you know, the 992 retains a turn **** in place of a traditional key. Does this "****" behave like a traditional key, or does it behave like a "button"?

In other words, should you hold the "****" in the start position until the engine fires up, or should you just click it once to the start position and immediately let go (because the car will automatically crank the engine)?

It operates like a push button. A quick turn and release is all that is needed.

Thank you!

(I’ll have to retrain my muscle memory from holding the ****/key to crank the engine).
