Ignition won't go off
On a couple of occasions I haven't been able to turn the ignition off. I stop the engine as normal but when I open the door the message "ignition still active" comes up, and nothing I can do with the Start button will stop it. Getting out and locking the car seems to work, but I am puzzled to why this happens, whether it is a fault or I am doing something different (wrong!)

I've had this a couple of times, i've put it down to having placed the car in N. Then you have to manually set Park before you can shut it off. If it's in Drive or Reverse, it'll auto set park.pwliv wrote: ↑Thu Jul 15, 2021 9:57 am On a couple of occasions I haven't been able to turn the ignition off.

Yes, I encountered this the other day, car was in neutral and it wouldn't switch off, put it in Drive and it would. It threw me at first.Felindre wrote: ↑Thu Jul 15, 2021 2:04 pmI've had this a couple of times, i've put it down to having placed the car in N.

Absolutely, pull up, press the off button, engine stops, car goes into park, handbrake comes on, BUT this only works in D or R, not in N (Bizarrely!) it's in the manual...

I must get around to reading it, I've only had the car 2 years and 9 months!

I'm an avid reader of the manual, but I only found out after having experienced this same issue, wondered what the heck, and gone there to check.
There's all these little anomalies where everyone says x will happen, except when this other condition is present. A while back someone was complaining when the engine auto stopped, if they let go the footbrake the engine started up again. With all of us saying, no you can let go the footbrake it stays stopped. Then he discovered it's because he frequently uses the speed LIMITER, with it set, hey presto you have to keep the foot on the brake or the engine restarts!
