A control system and method for a vehicle is provided. The system comprises a poly-shifter, an RF Hub, a transmission control module (TCM) and a controller. The poly-shifter is configured to be moved between operating states including “Park” and “Non-Park” positions. The RF Hub supports operational features of the vehicle. The TCM determines a lock state of a parking pawl in a transmission of the vehicle and communicates the lock state to the RF Hub. The controller is configured to determine whether a driver has exited the vehicle with the poly-shifter in a “Non-Park” position. The controller is further configured to power down the vehicle based on the lock state of the parking pawl being in a “Park” position and the driver exiting the vehicle with the poly-shifter in the “Non-Park” position.
