I seriously doubt the part about the ABS. However, Power steering is most definitely off unless the engine is running. I tried it myself on an empty road just to double check , and the steering gradually becomes unassisted until you're totally on your own. You don't wanna drive without power steering on a FWD car. Of course I'm not going to test the ABS claim myself though.
I don't know of you know, but its stated in the manual that the engine cuts off fuel supply to the engine when coasting (in gear), so I don't think you need any kill switch.
I think there's a line between being good to your car to keep it in a good condition and save fuel, and having to suffer just to save some money.
My Bravo is a 2008 T-JET Sport model and I doesn't lose power steering with the engine off. You need to change the key to run position after shutting down the engine and do it above 40km/h. You can try
By any means don't remove the key because it will lock the steering wheel
