i do it sometimes when i hop out to talk to my friends or something real quick like i almost fully stand up and realize i have to hit the button.. the intel key is a pain lol bc u dont need it but i love it.

 

my g cut off on me once on the first time i walked away with the key. ever since then it has stayed on....
and the car does drive. i gave my car to the tinter and he took the car to the underground garage to tint. he came up an hour later for the keys bc he couldnt bring the car outside because the keys were still in my pocket

 

just lost a little gas.
lucky ur car was still there!

 

You're still able to lock it when you walk away right (can't remember) so even if you leave it on, its locked.

 

yea it will still lock

 

wow! you guys need to get your hearing checked. I have accidentall left it in the on position b/c hit the on off button twice but never left it on. i guess thats advantage of FI's hfc and exhaust.

 

ive already done it, thank god it was only for 5min while picking up quiznos.

 

I've done it before on my first car, (not a G). Went to the movies. Good thing it wasn't a 3 hour film.

 

yeah, my car beeps rapidly if i walk away with the key.

It wouldnt make sense to just shut off, imagine if you were on the highway and the battery died in your smart key....and the car just shut off....

 

^^Yeah, if yours shuts off, you have something quite rare indeed. It will run until you push the button regardless of where the key is.
To the OP, you are to be congratulated for coming on here and sharing this with us. Not sure I would have the Bals to do that...

 

i've caught myself a couple times getting out of the car without shutting it off.

 

lol, wow, must have been super distracted to leave the car on

 

lol not worse then leaving your car for the valet guy and not forgetting to give him the fob. if he stalled out, it woulda been GG.. lol i had to walk back to my car myself to get it.

 

That's why you get a 6MT. You always put the ebrake on and then put it in first gear. So if you are absent minded enough to leave the car one, when you put it in first and let the clutch out you're gonna kill the engine, and possibly lunge forward into a wall. Thus why manual drivers tend to not leave their engines running

 

+100

The car even beeps at you when you walk off.

LOL... You get a 6MT in case you forget to turn the car off? LOL!!!!
Please don't park near me bro...

...just like one would remember to turn off the ingnition in a conventionally started car- 6MT or 5AT or whatever you remember to press the button. To me it is a natural instinct.
But at anyrate with the car running and all of the systems on one would have to be extremely distracted to forget to turn their car off.
