In the case of my HDi, cutting the crankshaft position sensor kills the engine without reseting the ECU, but I do get a message about oil pressure being too low.
It logs an error code, but the engine can still be bump- or key-started. The error code can later be deleted with an OBD tool.
Sorry, I wasn't clear on the first post, I did the crank position sensor too. You are right, on mine the car would still run with the CPS disconnected.

I get no warnings, but Mercedes are odd in that they don't have low oil pressure lights or sensors for that matter.

Like yours I can bumpstart or restart with the newly installed starter button. Seems like a good solution.
