Comfort Access question............

amk2912 · 07-26-2008, 10:53 AM

Dang this technology stuff.....

When you turn the car off at the START/STOP button the radio is active. It only turns off when you "lock" the car by touching the ribbed area on the door handle.

As I don't lock my car when it's in the garage at home, is there a way of shutting everything down without having to actually lock the car?

Thanks in advance.

Just press the start/stop engine button again shortly after turning off the engine.

OR HOLD THE BUTTON FOR 2 SECONDS AND THE RADIO AND ALL ELSE WILL DEENERGIZE !

Thats correct mate...Just hold down the start/stop button for about 2 seconds and it shuts down the car completely..

The only problem with the double push method is now and again you forget to remove your foot from the clutch and the car starts up again.

Correct. But you just have to remember to disengage your foot from your brain, and problem solved! :biggrin:
