What does 'vehicle not powered off' mean?
1 Answers
When the dashboard displays 'vehicle not powered off', it usually means the key is still inserted in the ignition when exiting the vehicle. This warning appears when the key remains in the ignition with power on, and the driver unfastens the seatbelt and opens the driver's door. Here are specific reasons: 1. Forgetting to turn off other electrical devices after engine shutdown: To protect the battery, the system will display this warning if lights, audio systems, or other electrical devices remain on after turning off the engine, indicating the vehicle hasn't been fully powered down. 2. Vehicle not in P gear or key not removed: If the warning appears, it could mean the transmission isn't shifted to P position or the ignition key hasn't been removed.
