Is there a way to turn off the engine but leave the accessories on? I find it irritating when in the middle of a call and I've parked and have to wait for it to come back up to continue. Or to have to turn it back on to have the radio.

I tried searching, but didn't find much.

I think we are out of luck there. I use my cell phone menu to "switch to cellphone" so that the bluetootn is dropped and then turn off the car. The caller never knows that you've switched from car bluetooth back to the phone

I would have to say no. Two things I could think of for you to try: 1.Don't turn off your car until your ready to get out of it.

2.Try placing it into neutral and then press the start/ off button. It may shut the engine off, but not all of the ACC until you place it into Park.Good Luck!

The last post is correct. Turn the engine off without putting the car in park and the engine will stop but the car will remain in acc.

The to turn the car off completely, put the car in park, keep your foot off the brake, push the on/off button and the car will go on, but the engine won't start...then push again and the car will go off.

Indeed. And if you shift into Park, the ACC will stay on. If you want to restart the car, press the brake and press the button.

Ugh. Seems annoying. Maybe we need to send Infiniti some requests to put some sort of option in for that, say maybe holding the button down?

I wouldn't change how it works, just slip in an option to leave the accessories on without having to turn everything off and then back on.

...actually, with the push button start, you can just put the car in park and tap the button twice quickly. I do this all the time when I am on the phone and have reached my destination. Just turn the car off normally, but hit the push button a second time really quickly, and ACC will come on with no gap in power.

Great tip, but I still think the Neutral then off, then to park is just as easy.

I usually do this.
