Random restarting… C-HR!
TOYOTA C-HR (AX10)

    First of all, this is a hire car so no big deal – just puzzling…
    When I stop, apply the (electric) handbrake/parking brake, select Park (automatic) & hit the Power button to kill the engine, sometimes the vehicle engine starts again on its own…?
    Last night, this happened at a petrol/gas/fuel station after I got out to top up the fuel – very disconcerting!!!
    Is there a part of the shutdown procedure I am missing?
    I thought, maybe I need to lock the vehicle but who would do that if you have passengers inside? TIA

    It’s strange, it shouldn’t be like that and I can’t understand how it happens. It’s not safe, maybe there’s a problem with the car’s wiring?

      I guess it’s possible, but on a ’72 (2022) ‘plate it’s unlikely. My only other thought – maybe, just maybe – I forgot the parking/handbrake, as it has an ‘auto-hold’ feature when you apply the football??? But still a worry if it auto-starts after you exit the vehicle!
