Imagine you roll into an intersection to, and expect to slip between a break in traffic to cross the road. You tap the brakes, and the engine dies. The car expects the IMA system to be working so key-on restart is disabled. You have to fully turn the car off and back on before you can get the engine running again.

If the engine dies every time you put your foot on the brake below 22mph, it can be very dangerous in certain conditions.
