Default Question about engine start and stop button
i was driving around with a couple friends of mine, and one of them ask me what would happen if i accidentally press the start and stop button while im driving the car? that made me wonder, but im to afraid to actually do to find out, i was wondering if anyone here knows what would happen if you accidentally press the start and stop button you're driving the car. thanks

Then the engine just shuts off and you roll on which is what Im pretty sure would happen if you pressed the ISs button.

I would guess if you hit the brake and press the start button the same thing would happen.

Alright mythbusters, it is CONFIRMED that if you are driving and press the start/stop button for a few second the engine will shut off and it will continue to roll. To start it again just put the gear in neutral, press the brake and then press the start button and it will start again.

That's exactly why I would never buy a loaner.
