The spec figure in SysML-1.6 shows a Message 'StartVehicle' with a filled arrow, which means it must be a synchCall (not an asynchronous Message with a Signal StartVehicle), an Operation StartVehicle() is required in the model; it's actually on the PowerControlUnit block (see next slide):
SysML-1.6: In Figure D.9 is a synchronous Message from Lifeline for :Driver for an Operation StartVehicle() intended? Does it make sense for the human Driver to have to wait for such a synchronous call?

Figure D.10 - White Box Interaction for “StartVehicle”
Notes
[ISSUE] SysML-1.6: In Figure D.9 is a synchronous Message from Lifeline for :Driver for an Operation StartVehicle() intended? Does it make sense for the human Driver to have to wait for such a synchronous call?
[ISSUE] SysML-1.6 Typo: There is no "hybridSUV" Lifeline in Figure D.9 - there is 'vehicleInContext:HybridSUV'
Snippets (quotes/extracts)
  [SysML-1.6] Figure D.9 shows a “black box” interaction, but references “StartVehicleWhiteBox” (Figure D.10), which will decompose the lifelines within the context of the HybridSUV block.
  [SysML-1.6] A synchronous Message (messageSort equals synchCall) has a filled arrow head.
  [UML-2.5.1] If a request-message-label does not include an input-argument-list and the Message has a signature, then this denotes that the Message has wildcard arguments corresponding to all in and inout ownedParameters of an Operation or attributes of a Signal ...
  [UML-2.5.1] Note that the parentheses are not considered part of the input-argument list, so a request-message-label without an input-argument-list may still optionally include an empty set of parentheses (“()”) after the message-name.
  [SysML-1.6] Figure D.9 shows an interaction that includes events and messages communicated between the driver and vehicle during the starting of the vehicle.
  [SysML-1.6] The “hybridSUV” lifeline represents another interaction which further elaborates what happens inside the “hybridSUV” when the vehicle is started.
