Remote start, shut off on door unlock
So I am getting used to the new Mercedes Me Connect app. I am loving the remote start feature that I didn't have back in my ML.
So dumb question is it normal for the car to turn off when I open the drivers door? Some of the other cars my family has had doesn't do this.

Yeah, it's normal. It shuts off once you unlock the door. A bit annoying, actually. Not sure why it was designed that way. Security reasons, maybe? It is not like someone can hop in and drive off with the car with the key fob.
Other cars that I've owned (non-Mercedes) with remote start doesn't do this. The engine usually stays on (not to mention, you have the ability to set temperatures, etc).

I find it annoying as well but I do get the purpose of it. I had a Nissan where it was done a bit better - you could press the engine start button again once inside the vehicle, it would read the remote immobilizer, and stay on.
