Turning engine off but leaving radio on?

Can someone tell me how to turn the engine off but leave the radio on without having to press the stop/start button multiple times?

I've done it by accident a few times but can't work out the 'combination' to do it again.

Hi,
Put the shift lever in "N" position, and you can press the stop button.It shuts the engine and leaves the battery connection intact. Now move the lever to park and enjoy your radio.

Cheers,

I just move it to park and press the start button again without putting my foot on the brake pedal .... is this not the 'proper' way to do it.....? - I'll try the neutral thing - but doesn't it properly 'park' the car?

i just press the stop button in what ever gear i am, and then move the shifter to park, in the aurion. it's the only way it can be done i think.

Thanks guys. I'm sure I've done it when the car is in park too. Maybe holding down the stop start button when turning the engine off? Will have to try a few more combos to work it out. Surprising how often I pull up and wait in the car whilst the better half is in the shops or something and to turn the engine off, then press the button again to get the radio back on is annoying cause you miss about 10 seconds of audio. Petty I know, but still annoying.

After you stop the engine, you move the lever from nuetral to park.

If you push the button with the transmission in any other position (you have to be stopped first) than park the accessories will remain on.

It is on the user manual. If all else fails read the instructions
