Does Start Button Prevent Accidental Starter Engagement While Running?
Does the start button prevent accidental starter engagement while the engine is running?
Had always wondered why modern, key start, vehicles didn't have feature which disabled the starter if the engine was running and am interested to know if the start button set up finally addresses this.

BTW, some modern cars with key start DO prevent the starter from engaging. My 2000 Corvette did not allow the starter to engage if the car was running. In fact, if I turned the key while the engine was running the dashboard would go through it's initialization routine (guages would sweep). My guess is any modern car with multiple computer modules including a Body Control Module which controls the interior electronics will operate in this same way.

It's in the owner's manual. Either hold the button for 2 seconds or hit it 3 consecutive times to shut the engine in an emergency while driving.
