he treats the car like **** because its a lease. he turns it on and revs the engine to 5k to warm it up in winter. so dumb, makes me angry.

I'm sure there's a failsafe, but can the push button shut down the car while your driving? What if you had to shut it off because of a stuck accellerator?

I'm guessing you would have to hold it down for a few seconds to shut it off. Not exactly something I want to try, just curious.

That's an interesting question. I'm kinda curious what would happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but think that way back when, to start the car, you pulled out the choke lever, turned the key on and pressed the starter button mounted on the dash. My point is that the push button starting is not totally brand new. It was also done in the '30's and '40's.

I thought you had to hold the button down for like the first 2 weeks I had my car. (I've never had a car with push button start.)

Then I touched it once and it came on... I was like... hell yea!

I wuz noobz

^^^

I tried pushing the button while driving and it doesn't shut off. I don't know about holding it... but you can push it all you want and nothing should happen.

I have to admit I probably push the start/stop button longer than needed. I push and hold until ON lights up and then let go. Stopping just requires a quick tap.

Hmmm, interesting find. I had a habit of killing the engine in my last vehicle as I drifted into a parking space, so naturally i tried pushing the button momentarily last week and it didn't do sh!t!

I believe that the red GT-R button should be standard in the Z for in the case of an emergency it will standout as the logical button to push from the years of psychological norms we have been indoctrinated with throughout life.

I've been raised to believe that pushing red buttons result in missile launches (against commies).
