Wow, that Lincoln MKC was unfortunate.

Seems like they moved the power button to the top of the column.

In my car (BMW from 2012), the engine does not shut off when you press the start/stop button when you're driving. It only shuts off the engine when you press it AND you're stationary. This seems like a totally obvious interlock to me, it puzzles me that Ford didn't think of this and as a solution moved the button instead.

Does that button really start and stop the engine? In other cars I've seen, the start/stop button (with similar iconography) toggles the start/stop system, which shuts off the engine when the car is stationary to avoid pollution.
