Emergency Shutoff?

Emergency Shutoff?
just wondering.. how do you shut off the engine for keyless ignition systems in an emergency if the car is in motion? specifically for TL's?
i've tried pushing the start button, but it didnt turn off.
i held it for a bit, and nothing happened either.
(both were done while the car was moving to simulate an actual emergency)
im just wondering for safety reasons.

im pretty sure it can be done while in drive, just cant be turned back on in drive. i think if you press the start/stop button twice rapidly it will shut the engine off but keep all of the electronics on.

Doesn't the Owners Manual tell you?

Maybe he's wondering because he has a TL non-Tech model? Anyway, on page 186 of the 2010 TL Owner's Manual there are two ways to stop the engine even while driving. (1) Press and hold the engine start/stop button for 3 seconds, or (2) Firmly press the engine start/stop button button 3 times. Either way, the power mode goes from ON to ACCESSORY or VEHICLE OFF (LOCK) but the steering wheel will NOT lock.

that's exactly it.
has anybody listened to the 911 call? it gave me goosebumps, scary stuff. BUT, i will say that it doesn't sound like the guy tried to pop the car into N, which is weird cause he was a cop....

if anybody tries it, please do post and let me know if it works!
does anybody know if the auto-tragic shifter is by wire as well? shouldn't be right??

Actually, can anyone confirm if you lose power steering with the engine off? The power steering on the TL is supposed to be electric now, so there's no engine-driven pump and theoretically it could run off the battery?

I can't confirm or deny it, but I'd assume it wouldn't work because when you put the car into ACC mode, there is no power steering. But so long as the car is moving and the steering wheel isn't locked, it's not difficult to steer it to the side of the road.
Back in 04, I was riding in my dad's business partner's brand-new 745i when it completely shut off in the middle of a 3-lane freeway here in Indy (due to some electrical glitch). Incredibly terrifying, but it was still able to be steered to the side of the road with no power steering. He returned the car to the dealer the same week.
