Cold start, car turns off when I remove foot from brake pedal

i8alot · 10-02-2019, 11:58 PM

Has anyone encountered this issue?

On a cold start, I get in, foot on the brake pedal, click the ignition start button, turns on, I remove my foot from the pedal and the car turns off right away.

Any idea?

Is the door open? That will shut off the car.
If the door is closed: The gas engine should not turn on at all unless the battery is discharged. It should just go into ready mode. Drive away on electric and then the gas engine kicks in.

Then it does what it supposed to. It's to prevent anyone accidentally leaving the car on and walking away so someone could steal it.
