R.I.P. Accessory Mode :-(

my 2015 2.0 has true dual exhaust.

Ok, I tried pushing the start button with foot off the brake and everything turns on... ignition, blower, everything. Push it a second time and you're in what appears to be the elusive accessory mode but everything shuts off after a few minutes, about five I think. I still don't understand why they could not have a normal, straight-forward accessory mode. The models with regular keys still do, just one click forward. Ridiculous.

Reference your last sentence, exactly, the car just powers up completely including a/c and ignition. This is NOT accessory mode. What if I am sitting in the car and I want to just listen to the radio with the windows down, etc? I'm baffled as to how they could have done away with ACC mode.

The onboard mpg computers are notoriously INACCURATE!! Usually they read too high. With my 2.0 EB, the mpg always shows 28-29 combo driving city/hwy when in reality it is 25-26. All hwy I show 32 when in reality it is about 29. The old fashioned way is the only accurate method. Start with a full tank. When you fill up next divide the miles driven by gallons used. Done.

I have a new Titanium with push-button start, no key hole whatsoever. So how do I use "accessory mode"? You know, no ignition on, just the radio and windows etc. With a key it was just the first position, now I have no idea and there is nothing about it in the owner's manual. Thx
