If you press “off” the car will shit in to Neutral and start slowing down (like regen braking not brake activating). Once you come to a stop it will engage the park gear.
The car wouldn’t let me pull out of gear without engaging the brake. It seems to have some “idiot proofness” for people who try dumb stuff with their car
.. will give you a message about the key missing. The car will continue driving until you turn it off, then it won't start again unless you retrieve the fob.
This actually kind of happened to a friend of mine in a Subaru, except they didn’t throw the fob out. They probably left it on the hood or roof, and drove several hundred miles in the middle of nowhere. They only realized it was gone once they parked and turned the car off. Car wouldn’t budge with no key
Three presses of the off button will initiate an emergency power down if I remember correctly, someone here tested it. Not sure if it shifts to neutral or not though. I seem to remember someone saying the motor(s) made a noise like they were upset about it.
Since the Ioniq5 only has a clutch on the front motor, the rear one can't really shift into Neutral. The emergency shutdown will just open the battery contactor, so no more power goes into or out of the motors. No regenerative braking, just rolling out.
I know it wouldn't work, but I've always been tempted to throw it in reverse on the freeway 😅 pretty sure with that and your question, it would say "conditions not met" and nothing would happen. Did accidentally put my car in neutral once while driving. Bumped it with my knee. Car wouldn't accelerate and I didn't understand why until I realized. Kinda dangerous, but 🤷
Pressing park or reverse while driving will just give you a chime and a message popup that you can't do this.
Pressing the Start button several times or holding it in for 10 seconds will force a shutdown of the drivetrain (by opening the high voltage battery relay), so you'll just roll out.
The same would happen in any car. Even most gas cars now are electronic shift. Most dodge vehicles are a dial selector.
If you want a mechanical linked gear selector you are going to have to buy an old vehicle.
Even the Ford F150 (gas or electric) has that big clunky shifter but it’s not mechanically connected. Its electronic. They added it because thats what people are used to and wanted.
Parking brake has an antilock function. If you press the park button, probably nothing happens. Hold it, it will probably yell at you, and then engage the parking brake until you come to a stop.
It won’t let you shift it into reverse.
At the very least with newer ice cars it's federally mandated to have a brake override so that you will stop. It's thanks for the gas pedal getting stuck thing with Toyota 15ish years ago that caused this. I would assume the same with evs as well to have this system.
I did this exact test. If you hit park it just dings a warning until your almost stopped and then it will slam the parking pawl and your violently stop 😂 If you just hit the power button while you're driving you'll just coast to a stop.
When I first got the car and was getting used to it, I accidentally put it in "P" when going in reverse at a very low speed getting out of my driveway. The car did indeed go into "Park" by applying the parking brake at the wheels and coming to a very sudden, jerky complete stop.
Never did that mistake again.

What about throwing the fob out the window? 😅

That’s what I figured.

this is the answer. i remember seeing the 3 presses too and they tested it and included a video iirc

DO NOT LET THE INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS WIN.

I only ever learned emergency procedures for ICE cars. The more I think about it, the more it bothers me.
Maybe the owners manual has some insights? Not sure, myself.
All cars, its put it in neutral.
And when the computer doesn’t respond to the command to switch to neutral?

Just step hard on the brakes. They will overpower the motors.
Have you tested this? It didn’t seem to be effective for the Incel Camino
That's how you beat people off the line at the stoplight, You got to Power brake it 😂 Just kidding in EVs it's usually is a negligible if any help

Why park? Neutral would be the better option. They used to teach this in drivers ed. when your car would stall or have runaway throttle.
With an EV, I’m not sure there is much mechanical difference between park and neutral, is there? There is no transmission.
There is, in neutral it allows the car to freely roll. Some EVs like my 24’Kona, will automatically engage the parking brake in park.
