Thinking of the scenario: Keys in the back pocket, open the door, door unlocks itself, how do you start the car when you have the keys in your back pocket and no PB-start?
Probably a stupid question for you Camaro owners, but I haven't received my car yet  |
Confused. I don't know what you're asking?

The SRX is push button start/stop, and apparently he just walked away and left it running. He mentioned it was not the first time he had done that. He also mentioned getting stranded once with no keys after dropping his wife off at her work and driving off, the keys were in her pocket because she started the car in the morning. Stopped at a store - and no way to restart it.
That's why I love the simple concept of key start. You always need the key to start it, the keys never walk away while it's running, and you never leave it running by mistake.... if you always use the key fob to lock and unlock the car - they will never be locked in the car.
No push button start for me - hate it. I had it on a C6 Corvette - numerous problems, dead batteries, mysterious locks and unlocks...

Bring up a good point. When my car was on jackstands, one of the times my wheels were not on it, we drove Bonnies car. She got in it with her key in her purse and I started it with the push button. I dropped her off and drove away to get a drink. Store across the street. The car makes a crazy beeping sound heard inside and outside of the car so we knew she still had the key but it was just across the street anyway so I went over there. As habbit dictated, I turned the car off before I went inside.
Had to run all the way across the 4 lane street and both parking lots to get her key.
BUT, with her car it damn sure beeps and lets you know as soon as the key exits the car.
