Keyless - starting - do you need to hold the button?

May be a simple question, on a 2013 GLK Diesel with keyless go, to start do you have to push and hold the button or can you push and release and it auto starts?

I have not picked up yet so i can't test it out, the manual does not seem to clarify it, and i could not find it by searching.

Cheers, thanks for reading...

"Best" practive - press - momentary/nano hold - release.

The reason I describe it this way is some people press "too fast" and on occasion do not press all the way.

Nano-hold assures you tactily you have pressed full measure.
