I don't find it at all amazing for people to want to know how their car behaves.

I wanted to know what would happen within the first week of owning the car. I tried it going about 15mph on a straight stretch of private road. Nothing happened. Pushed it a few times repeatedly and the car shut off. Big deal.

It's in the manual. If you hold it for like 2 seconds, or press it 3 times in a row consecutively it turns off.

One time I had to take a drunk chick back to her apartment. What was supposed to be a 5 minute drive... well. Let's just say I was washing my car out in the cold around 4-5AM. It was my 350Z... lesson learned :P

What I wonder is, how can I switch the engine off to ACC instead of completely off. I hate waiting for my head unit to boot up after turning off the engine and switching to ACC.

She threw up outside the window, so it was all over outside passenger door.

It's no big deal unles your in a middle of a turn and turn your car off so the steering locks.

When I had an older car my stereo would die and it would not start back up again unless I turned the car off and back on. So on long drives down I-5, I didn't feel like stopping the car, so I would turn the car off and then back on while I was rolling down the highway, took like 3 seconds.

When u shut off the car. Stay pressing the button in. It will keep everything in the car on.

Oh n u can press the on/off button as much as u want while the car is in drive.
At least in an automatic. I tried it in my altima as they were the 1st pushbutton start cars in nissans lineup. It does nothing unless u r in park.
I wonder if it will shut off in neutral though?
I gotta try it. Lol.

One thing that may make a diff. is the car man or auto? is there ay diff. in what may happen? hhmmmm?

Doesn't that cause the passenger seat to deploy the occupant leather restraint system?
It is a standard feature.

Actually, I don't think the car turns off since it is not in a parked position. My knee inadvertantly hit the on/off putton on my Vette while driving and fittering with thigh hi hose. Nothing happened to the car and my hose was adjusted.
