Bizarre question maybe, but in old ICE cars, the ignition had position I and position II - the first was when you were waiting patiently in the car to pick up your kids and you wanted to listen to the radio.
In my lovely Kona, If I arrive, park, and hit the off button - the radio stays on - but turns off after a short while (or if the door is opened of course). If I turn the car on fully with my foot on the brake - it complains at me after a while that I'm draining the battery, sends an alert on Bluelink, and there's a bunch of whirring stuff under the bonnet that certainly doesn't need to be happening.
I have noticed that if I push the on button when I don't have my foot on the brake, it at first refuses, but then if I do it a second time - everything appears to turn on, but has no driving function (can't put car into gear and doesn't seem to be whirring noises under the bonnet!) Is this the right mode for sitting in the car with the radio on (and heating)? And is that a documented feature in the manual (I couldn't find it)?
