Any way to go directly from the on position to the accessory position?

Is their any way to go from the on position (engine running) to the accessory position without first turning the car off completely? I sometimes want to sit for a moment after arriving at my destination, turn the engine off but keep the stereo on. This is easy to do with other cars that use standard keys.
I can’t find the info in the manual if it’s there…

Good question, I have wondered exactly the same thing. I often switch the engine off, when dropping my wife or daughter off and then wait for them and wish the stereo would stay on.

All you need to do is press the On/Off button twice quickly and the stereo will stay on.

EXCELLENT, I just tried it and it works.
Was this in the manual or did you find out by accident or some other resource?
Thanks,
Ron

You can start/operate your car that way if the battery in your intelligent key becomes discharged. See page 5-8 of your owners manual.

Just like a key when you back off the ignition but leave the
ACC on. It's in the manual. I think you need a foot on the brake but it is two pushes and ACC stays on.
