"Parked" the other day with radio on in supermarket---Istop engaged. Got out of car because engine was not running, shut door and wondered why I was getting an alarm .....I had of course got out of the vehicle and attempted to lock it in Istop mode. A senior moment but I wonder if I am the only person who has done this?
Silly me.

I sometimes have istop engaged when I park up, put the car in park and then automatically press the start /stop button to switch off. If I've got my foot on the brake it starts again which is annoying.

Me too, i have also got out and forgotten to press the stop button, good job the car won't lock in that situation. Not sure if this is a sensible thread

Happens to me as well. This is counter intuitive, but it seems you have to have your foot off the brake to avoid this restart!
