No it doesn't. As long as the motor is still spinning the alternator is still producing power and the motor will run indefinately. You need a six pole so that you can ground out the alternator as well as kill the power supply to the motor (there is a relay in the rear that you can switch the power to and kill all motor function as well as the output of the battery. Two pole will not kill a modern car.

For those with two pole switches try the following- rev engine to 2500rpm and pull kill switch. Does your engine stop?
