To turn off the radio...


I got a new car - Hyundai Kona electric - and as usual, wife isn't happy about changes. Things working differently and so on. This car, being quite different than previous ones we've had has its own quirks that you have to get to know first.

For example, to unplug charging cable, you have to unlock the car first. Even if it wasn't locked, you have to click unlock button on remote to be able to remove the plug (this is to prevent someone from just stealing your charging cable). It took me a while to figure this out, too.

However, next call was a bit more amusing.

"How do I turn off radio?!?"
"Open the door."
"..."

When you turn the car off, some parts keep being powered for a while longer, including the radio. When you open the door to step out, though, car powers these devices off (still keeping lights on for few minutes longer). Not exactly obvious behavior, but again, it makes sense when you think of it. You may, after all, want to sit in car, for example waiting for something, in which case you'd want the things keep being powered on until you step out (i.e. open the door).

Unexpected behavior is ... well, unexpected, no matter how much it makes sense afterwards.
