I can confirm that pushing the button while backing out of the driveway will shut off the car.
I've always been curious. Could you turn off a key while driving?

I also like the push button start. Now you need to install the red start button on you bride's new 2018 Mustang. Awesome looking new 2018 Mustang convertible.

Couple of push start questions ...
Pop start ... can you pop start or bump start the manual, e.g. when the battery is dead/dying?
How far from home can you get without the key? That is, forgot it on the counter, but car starts,
and you drive off into the sunset for a couple of hours ...

Was with a friend when we traded vehicles with his mom. He's got an Infinity. We left the cars running, and he forgot his keys were in his pocket. His mom drove 1/2 hour away without any keys for the vehicle.

My 2017 Fusion has PBS but it's so quiet it's easy to forget that the car is still running. Not a problem with the rumble of the active exhaust on my 2018 GT.

I think as long as the key was in the car when it's started, the car can drive off without the key for as long as it wants until the car is shut off.

Granted you don't lock the car before you realize you don't have the keys. But didn't know you had one free start. I'm going to have to try that out.

If I remember correctly, you get the free start for only a few seconds after the car is shut off. After those seconds pass, it will not restart unless you have the key/remote.

Wife's car is also push button so I have no issues with reaching for the key.... Yet.

I don't mind push start, but I HATE the FOB. It's like a brick in my pocket. Way too big, and cumbersome. My wife's $21,000 base model Subaru Legacy uses a key start with the little buttons for the doors and trunk built into the key itself. Much simpler, and works. I think what car makers have forgotten, is that we have a HUGE key FOB, but also several other keys attached on a key ring. Unless you're a woman with a purse, it's terrible trying to carry it around in your pocket all day.

My wife's '15 Honda CR-V has a fob and push button start. I keep the fob in the watch pocket of my jeans and never have to mess with it. Love it. I still have to use the key in my '14 Mustang, but it never causes me any problems to switch from one car to the other.

I'm tempted to open it up and desolder the panic button button.
