Still working after all these years!

A family of K5

Pressing the Start/Stop button in a moving car.
What happens when the start/stop button is accidentally pressed (eg. by children) when the car is moving? Here's the result:
When you press the start/stop button & quickly let go (abt 1 sec), nothing will happen. The car continues as normal. However, if you press the button & hold it for abt 3 secs, the engine dies. The brake still works (not sure about the abs) & you should be able to stop the car safely.
When the engine dies & with the car still in motion, you cannot restart the engine by pressing the button again. However, the engine can be restarted (with the car still moving) if u shift the gear to N before pressing the start button. The other safer way is to stop the car totally and then restart as normal.
The above is for info during emergency cases only. Please do not try it under normal or uncontrolled situations.

There's a rumour that the Kia Stinger is coming to town with a 2L turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine boosting 252hp.
