Hello,
I haven't owned a car with push button start/stop until the BS (my other car is via key insert) so it made me curious what happens when I'm driving and i suddenly "ACCIDENTALLY" hit the start/stop push button :)

Driving at 45mph, pressed it.....Nothing :) I'm safe phew. I'm pretty sure nothing would happen since that's a safety issue but i just wanted to confirm hehehe
Driving below 15mph, pressed it.....it stopped, i have my foot on the brake too.

So lesson today, just DO NOT touch or put hand near that button when driving.

If you push and hold the button for several seconds it stops the engine. Real handy when the driver has a health problem. Don't ask how I know.
