How do I turn my car off?
Sometimes when I turn the engine off, and leave the car, the radio and everything will stay on. The only way to stop it is to lock the car.
Other times I get out of the car and it all turns off. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? |

You can just hold down the radio volume button for about 2-3 seconds. Or, just lock the car via key fob.

Or just wait for a few seconds after turning off the car to open the door. That shuts the system down too.
It's a weird, feature, though. Reminds me of my old VW Golf in college. That did the same thing, but the radio would stay on indefinitely, or until it killed your battery. You'd have manually turn it it off each time.

That is weird. I will have to try that. Why does it stay on if you open the door too soon though? That makes zero sense to me.
All my other push to start cars you can run ACC if you push start without foot on brake. If your foot is on brake it just starts it. |

You're looking for logic where this is none, my friend.

If you shut off the car prior to opening the door, and wait a second or two...then open the door, everything will shut off.
Just lock the car though, problem solved either way

Here is the ”secret”:
If you put the gear shift in Park and then you turn off the engine, the lights and the radio will stay on for about 15 min. If you turn off the engine without putting the car in Park, the radio will turn off when you open the door and the lights will turn off after 5 min. (depends on your ”follow me home” setting) |
