@ D.O.G. Usually with a button-starter you can switch off only the engine by a short press, or switch off the entire car by a long press.

Nobody told me the first time I got in a car with one of those, so I gut in a loop of stopping and startting the enine before finally figuring it out XD

I gotta say I rather dislike those buttons (although I understand why they're implemented as the computer can stop the starter as soon as the engine is running), but I like the implementation in my brother's '06 Audi A6 better, where turning the ignition key to "Start" let's the computer start the engine, but turning it to off still provides a true off-switch, instead of relying on electronics
