With AutoStartStop enabled and the engine in standby, the car should automatically turn off in a few minutes if it is in 'P', and especially if you lock the doors. At least that how it is in Eco mode. I found this feature annoying when I was just jumping out to grab something and had to restart the car upon returning, but now I realize this may actually be a safety feature too. |

Also, running the engine does waste fuel and pollute the environment, so to say that it "hurts nothing" is a mischaracterization. As far as adding protection, there is literally no evidence to support that claim. |

There are times I have to park in some shady areas... And I'd like my car to stay locked till I ready to get out... And this double pull thing drives me crazy.. because most times, I'm not in these shady areas. BTW, my buddy told me to get a helmet because I might get stabbed in the head through the soft top. LOL

So what do you guys with manuals do? I'm on my ED right now and I came from a automatic F32 so the two button off sequence is normal to me, but having a clutch is not . Do you guys press the off button the first time with both feet on the brake pedal and clutch, then take both feet off and press it again? Or park in neutral, turn off the car the way you would in an automatic, and then put the car in gear incentive it is off?

1) Stop with right foot, while depressing clutch 2) Shift into neutral holding right foot on brake 3) Release clutch 4) Lift parking brake 5) Press ignition button once to turn off engine 6) Engage 1st or reverse depending on any slope in the ground. Total time = ~ 3 seconds. Why are you having to press the ignition button twice?

1. Press brake pedal until stopped. 2. Push the "P" for Park button. 3. Set parking brake. 4. Push "Start" button twice (the first push stops the engine. The second push shuts off the screen and other electrics). 5. Pull door handle twice to exit vehicle. Just the way it is. I've done it so many times, I don't even have to think about it anymore. Habit.

There is no need to press the Park button when turning off the engine. Pressing the START button will put the transmission in Park when it turns off the engine.
And if you routinely lock the car when you exit, locking will turn off the ignition and accessories. So under most circumstances one press is enough. |

Holy thread rescue! What's the "coding" being referred to? Something additional that needs to be added or just operator/driver reconfiguration? The double push is annoying and I want it to work like my other car.... push to stop, radio stays on until driver's door is opened, one pull to open door.

I never liked a system that produces a different result from the same press of the same button depending on the state of something else that is not shown. The START button has at least four functions: (1) energizing the electrical system; (2) the start engine sequence; (3) engine stop; and (4) shutting down the electrical system. I think this is bad ergonomics, even without regard to the need to unlock the doors before you can open them.
