A method of operating an engine 110 of a vehicle 100, the vehicle comprising a brake pedal 140, a clutch pedal 150, and a transmission 120 having a neutral position and at least one in-gear position, comprises starting the engine 110 if either the brake pedal 140 of the vehicle 100 is released or the transmission 120 has been in neutral for a predetermined period of time, and the clutch pedal 150 of the vehicle 100 is depressed concurrently with the transmission 120 being moved out of the neutral position into an in-gear position. The method provides an auto-start logic that allows for auto-starting the engine even when the brake pedal is still pressed, if the transmission has been in the neutral position for a predetermined period.
