2013 GL 550
GL 2013 instrument lights etc

Hi

i spend 15-30 minutes travelling on a ferry twice a day, and I wanted to know if there is a way to turn off the electronics without opening the door once I press the stop buttton. Or is the car savvy enough to know when to turn everything off? Even heated seats etc stay on. My previous car would turn everything off after a configurable amount of time.

thanks

james.

My W164 had push to start and I would have to open the drivers door and close it as if I was exiting the vehicle.

My GL takes about 25-30 after turning off the the engine before it powers down if I do not open the drivers door.
