Default Does ICE kicks in immediately?

Somebody either in this forum or another mentioned about accidents on parking lots because of the silence, when I start the car, ICE kicks in about 7 seconds? If I dont move then turns of about 30 seconds, is it normal?

yes, it depends on how you are using it, how much batteries are left, weather conditions, etc..
