What Happens If You Push The Button WHILE Driving Pt.2 ! (Unanswered questions) 

What happends if you put your car in Reverse(by accident) while driving forward

Glad to see you taking feedback seriously! Thanks for doing the tests on your personal vehicles!

I am seriously impressed by the content you do on this channel. It's so satisfying!

just watched the first part of the video yesterday, and today you upload second part? That's pretty awesome!

I respect you, one of the biggest channels from the burgh

Awesome! You really answer the unanswered questions out there, Subscribed

Loving these 'experiments'. Keep it up man

Thanks for all the great videos! you do an amazing job and I can tell you do it with passion. I just bought a Ford Explorer 2017 Platinum thanks to your reviews from your videos. it really helped me decide. I'm 2 days from picking it up and it is my first brand new car. Having only some experience buying used cars, buying a new car is a complete new experience for me and don't know what to expect. I've been searching PDI inspections and checklist before the sale but can't find something helpful. I wanted to suggest to you making such video since you have access to brand new cars and have the experience. it might be too late for me but I'm sure some one will be in my shoes at some point. Cheers and keep up the great work.

Be aware that the power assist on the brakes will be operating on reserve vacuum as soon as you stop the engine, and will give you at least one normal stop. If you pump the pedal that reserve vacuum will quickly be depleted and stoping distance will be way longer.

I love your videos. You answer the important questions! :D

Dig your videos mate, keep up the good work!

Nice job man, watching from Belgium, Brussels. I have seen a few of you videos now and I subbed. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make these! Potentially saving lives!

exellent as always!! thanks!

Thanks. I had the same question about the power steering. Good job. Keep 'em coming.

Are you sure you still have power steering? At those speeds you tested at, it's very easy to not feel the difference between having power steering or non-power steering. I say run the same test, but try to steer as your traveling at 5mph or less. Of course stop the engine and just wait until you slowed to 5mph.

Appreciate what you do, especially using your own vehicle as the test subject just to keep up informed! Because of your videos I purchased a new 2016 Ford Edge (Too Good To Be Blue) and I am in love with her! I call her Bluella di Vil

U just posted a video what I have been thinking since I got my push button start car. Thank you sooooo much. Absolutely genius. Keep doing it sir.

Appreciate the followup to the original. Very helpful!!

He always knows what I'm thinking

Very informative thank you .

i like it how he went straight to the point.

Very informative. Thanks!

great video!! I hope you get sponsored by insurance companies soon, these are good informational materials.

good job Mike I subbed man keep on going

it was helpful , thank you .

Very good info. Have you checked to see that you can't bump it off accidentally going around 15 or 20 mph like you would in slower traffic?

Once my car (2001 SAAB) shut down on the highway. I was about 40mph. Then thing is: power steering and power breaking worked for about 5 seconds, then the steering became very stiff and the breaks couldn't stop the car. I had to carefully use the handbreak to stop it. In your video you didn't wait enough to see if the steering or breaking would really be still working.

You will still have power steering as long as it is the newer electric type, however on an older car with hydraulic power steering (most cars still on the road) it will have no power assist the moment the engine stops. It will steer, but will take high effort since you have no power assist and you also are forcing hydraulic fluid through valves as you turn the steering wheel.

very good,thanks👍

All cars keep power steering and brake pressure enabled while on the move since these systems were electrically powered, no matter if they are hydroelectric, electric or by wire. My '07 lancia phedra/ Peugeot 8008/ Citroën C8 already implemented this feature. It won't even turn off auto lights until you come to a complete stop.

awesome awesome awesome video!!

Tjena, är det liknade om man har en bil med nyckel då va?

Hello. Greeting from malaysia. I just want to ask whether your break system is still working like normal when the ignition is off? As far as i know break system use servo that got powered from running engine. I'm not so sure about modern car brake system tho. Thanks.

Hey Mike, this is an irrelevant question to the video, but I have a 2015 Ford Explorer limited, and I've had it for less than 2 years. However, the steering wheel coating has started to peel off, did you have customers complained about it before? Has Ford fixed this problem? (I've had the same issue with my 2010 Ford Mustang)

In my car manual there is a warning about don't start the engine while the car is moving (something like not pushing the car or using a downhill to start the engine) as you can severely damage the catalytic converter, due to a inflow of fuel. This can't apply in that case, as well? Also, I have the same doubt of Robert Steich about the power steering. But what it is really worrying me is that people may mistakenly think they have full brake power while the engine is turned off. Because if you got no brake assist or reduced vacuum servo (brake booster) and you think you do, that can be a dangerous situation.

can you cover how to use the paddle shifters? I'm being told it's hard on the car & not to play with them!

I wish i had a road near me with no traffic in front of me or behind me... but everywhere i go there is somebody all the time.

Your power steering still works because youre not in neutral. The transmission is turning the motor making the serpentine system turn which as a result, is spinning your power steering pump

idk about new keyed cars, but on old automatic trans cars (not pushbutton.), the neutral safety switch prevents the car from starting on any gear except park.

Do you also have power brakes and ABS when the engine is off in that situation, (in order to come to a complete and safe stop if your throttle/gas pedal sticks or whatever), or does it get really "heavy" to push the brakes? And if they DO stay power assisted when the ignition/engine is off, I wonder how that happens? (I suppose by using electric pumps in modern cars, rather than (engine) vacuum, as in older vehicles.)

it was hard for me to believe that you are from Sweden because you have little to no accent at all! btw you do awesome videos! so keep it up!!!

Late model cars have electric power steering. If you have the older style hydraulic power steering and you shut your engine off you will lose power steering. On both cars you will lose power brakes, whether they are hydraulic or vacuum boosted. You must put the trans mission in neutral to restart it.

Are you letting go of the throttle when turning the car off? Can it be turned off whilst still accelerating? Great videos by the way, subscribed.

I used to hop in our '93 GMC 6.5 diesel coast down the hill in neutral, start it and go for a joyride...

that is interesting that the fusion is keeping power steering... it must be because the fusion has electric assisted power steering

That's right folks, our friend here is doing the testing so that WE don't have to. Useful but even with an isolated road I wouldn't feel comfortable. Also, what happens if you keep the gear in D and attempt to restart? This one I've tested in a manual with traditional key and worked perfect. No problems.

Awesome great videos like always. Can you do some like. "What happens when you jump out of your car going 70+mph?" "What happens when you drive a car with no oil in it?" maybe.. "What happens if you put diesel in your gas car?" My wives BMW has a thing that stops the car if the door opens while driving down the road..do one of those would be cool to know too. I'll think of some other ones later.. oh and might want to do the first one I mentioned last.. guess it could make it hard to do the other ones if you did it in the wrong order. :P

Very good Vlog I like ur car

Your Ford has electric power steering this is the reason that it still works even when the engine is turned off.

I tried this in a Ford Focus RS, and pushed the button twice the car shout off. This was on a track in Norway with my driving teacher.

Bra video!

While in a safe spot I put my 2009 Nissan Murano, like in your Ford I had to hold the button down for three seconds and everything locked up the brakes power steering I had to come to a complete stop in order to turn the car back on. Same thing happened in my 2017 Lexus GX 460. Can you push the start button while driving and your F150?

Is it a MUST to be in neutral before you can restart the engine at speed? Or can you leave it in drive to restart the engine?

Great videos. The questions I have are a. Do you still have to put your foot on the brake pedal when you restart the vehicle? Also, what happens if you're in cruise control and you perform the same test?

this does not work on the keyed prius. even though of all vehicles you would think it does. since its a hybrid. or i needed to do something. i know the manual says the car does not start in neutral. can you start yours in neutral? i did not think to try using park or the drive / engine brake mode to start the car. (had bumped the key one day while driving at high way speed ) PRIUS C 2014 model 2

Do your windshield wipers still work?

Isn't it bad for the transmission when you are in Neutral and the car moving?(Asking about automatic transimssions)

are you suuuuure you still have power steering? I have a Ford fusion and I've tried this and loose power steering

Perhaps the owner's manual gives exact car behavior for certain variables/situations and also what to do... ?

Mentioned this video to my wife as she has a 2013 Ford Escape and she said she'd been trying to remember to tell me something. Yesterday she was driving through a parking lot at about 10 mph and when she reached for the wiper controls she accidentally hit the start button. The dash went dark, the engine died but realizing what she just did, she pressed the start button again (in gear, rolling), the engine restarted and she went on her merry way.

Can you please do what happens if you shift to park at higher speed??

The push and hold to stop is a safety feature for stopping a runaway vehicle with a stuck open throttle.

Thanks

I wonder if it's the same in my 2014 Grand Cherokee. I need to test this.

at older cars ... with the key... happens the same as the button?

I honestly like these videos because I'm an idiot behind the wheel so it's good to know that if I happen to make a mistake and turn off the ignition I'll be okay

lmao. " No traffic in front of me or behind me.". 1:40

what happens if you rev it all the way in neutral and then put it in drive? Launch control?

there no traffic *sees car driver by....* I love your video though keep up the great work.

in my old 2015 Honda CR-V, I did lose power steering when the ignition was turned off while driving.

This car will have an electric steering assist pump however slightly older vehicles with a mechanical power steering pump will loose the power assist when the motor shuts off

I haven't read all the comments, so this may have been asked. When restarting most cars with keyless start you need to put your foot on the brake while you press the start button. I presume that the software is aware of the rolling engine stop and that that a press to restart on the fly overrides the need to press the brake as required when parked/stopped.

A question that's crossed my mind is, if someone steals your car with you in it, but you manage to throw the key fob out of the car and also get it turned off, would they still be able to get it started again while it's moving? I'm sure after stopping it wouldn't start again without the fob.

At what speed does the safety disconnect work?

What happens when you turn the ignition off and start turning the wheel back and forth and it locks? I wanna see that video.

Did you have put you foot on brake to restart

Hard to tell if you lost your power steering at 60 mph. At speed you don't really need much assist in power steering, it's at lower speed, parking lot and turning a corner speed, where power steering really comes into play. As far as the operation of the start button, I believe this is a NTSB standard (I know right? Standards for motor vehicles? Also, it's all in the operations manual.) Back when push button start came out there was a famous case of 4 people dying when they're cars accelerator stuck and they ran off the end of an under construction highway. One of them was a state trooper. They didn't know to hold the button in. They tapped on it. They were on a phone to 911 when it happened and worse yet, they didn't just put the car in neutral to save their lives. That was quite a few years ago and the reporting was for those uninformed to hold in on the stop button and the engine would die or at least put it in neutral.

Correction please. I think your power steering is completely off because you turned off the ignition. The power steering will work once you start again the ignition. You are running above 40 miles per hour that's why you can easily move it while running. But unfortunately the power steering is completely not working. (Based on my Car experience Manual & Automatic transmission). Have a good day

how do you know you have power steering when your traveling at highway speeds? the power steering is only needed when traveling slow

What about a manual transmission with a push button?

cool video. im guessing u have electric steering

Is it bad for the engine ot transmission if u do press the button and the Ignition turns off

it only feels like you have power steering because you are going 60mph (100kph) power steering only works if the engine is on.

Basically turns the engine off, and whoever said "what happens when you accidentally reverse when going forward, well you don't cause that's dangerous. If you do, you better hope it's after you just started your car and are pulling out of a parking lot where you can catch yourself before you wreck

You don't have power steering. At speed the steering gets lighter. As you slow down the wheel should get harder to turn. You also only have whatever brake pressure is left in the system. That will slowly bleed off and then you won't have any boost to assist with braking.

When I had my 2014 Civic, you would still have power steering when you cut the ignition off. Because it has electric power steering, you technically don’t need the engine running for power steering to work.

so the engine will stop when you put the gearbox in to neutral, but what happen if you push the stop bottom while driving and not moving the gear shift in to the neutral.??

you made so much money from part one man I could buy a civic from one video dayum

Average highway speeds in Michigan are 75-80 mph. You’re going to have to try it at those speeds.

one liytle question is the ford fushion a mondeo in the uk ?

Do you still have brake power?

What about other car makes?

would you be able to keep driving while car is off

What if you floor it before/while turning it on?

you don't have power steering. it just feels easy to turn because your rolling. the power steering turns off around 35mph.

Does your car lose gas a lot if you do that

I guess car companies have started upgrading what stays on in a car that's off. I have a 2012 car and it has power electric steering as well, but the power steering turns off if you turn off the car.

Assisted braking?

can you lock your key fob in your car?
