READY -> ACC?

drbradfo · 06-22-2005, 04:31 PM

Question: Can you switch from READY mode to ACC mode without turning the car off?

I find that I often want to finish listening to a song or new report on the radio before I get out of the car but I can't figure out how to change from READY to ACC without shutting off the car (and radio).

No, the order of events for the power button is (without brake depressed) ACC -> Ig-on -> (depress brake here) Ready -> Off.

The easiest thing is to just put the vehicle in park, as if you were done driving it, finish doing what you want and power off. Unlike a conventional vehicle this one should not be running the ICE while in park unless the engine has not completely warmed up, or your battery power is rather low and the computers decide to do some charging.

I've been wishing for the same thing on several of my posts, and for the same reason. Except instead of music, it's a talk program on the radio, and I want to continue listening while I get the mail.
