This happened to me over the weekend.

I parked the car, pushed the ignition button and the engine shut off. Then I realized my passenger window was still open, so with my foot off the brake, i pushed the ignition twice to ON -> ACC position, and closed the window. For some reason, I got distracted. I got out of the car, closed the door, and pushed the keyless fob to arm the alarm.

I came back to the car an hour and a half later, then I realized the whole time, my dashboard was still all lit up and the radio was playing because the ignition was still at the ACC ON position. Then I realized i forgot to turn off the ignition. The engine wasn't running however.

I don't know this is considered a PRO or CON. But i learned my lesson. I wished there were some kind of warning or something.
