He COULD put his left fot on the clutch, but then he is trying to synchronize the let-off-clutch/let-off-brake/get-on-gas movements. With this feature, you just crank the starter and let the Jeep start moving, then give it a little gas. It makes starting on a steep hill much easier. I prefer the hold brake with right foot, put it in "park" method.

Yeah you can do that, we have for years. But with this feature you no longer have to and thats the point. It's a great feature. Makes life easier.
