on the toad one, you have to have the engine running, press the button to turn it of then get out and lock the car.
the to start the engine you just press the button again.
also if you open a door before starting the engine it wont start by pressing the button, cus you might of been able to knock it in gear.
dunno if that made sense but thats how it works.

no but they probably thought most pepole take it out of gear when you park up.
or not try to start it in gear.
and you meant to park with your wheels angled in such a way so if the hanbrake fails itll swing the front tyred onto the kerb next to it and it wont got anywhere.
