:iagree: Thanks for straightening that out. :thumbs:

I bet it doesn't even grind the Starter either! ? :D
Yep, I caught that one too, but was gonna "take the high road". Besides, I figured someone else would take the shot... :lol:

I guess we don't have any XLR people to explain it to us, so here's my guess:
The switch is a spring loaded toggle. Press in the green circle at the top and the engine starts. Remove your finger. As on the MB, once started, the top of the switch is disabled. To turn the engine off, press the bottom of the toggle. If the engine is off and you want the ACC on, press the bottom of the toggle. If the fob is not present, only the turn the engine off function would work.

If I remember correctly, the XLR requires you to have your foot on the brake at the same time you push the start button. This could be a safety feature to prevent small children from starting the car.

Yeah, but what happens if you throw the key fob out the window while driving--that should be interesting.
..Actually, I assume the car would keep running but what if you are car-jacked, maybe you do want the car to "die" if the key fob is no longer around (but car was already running).
