And I should have added that other than that occasional annoyance, I love my Kiz. Solid car so far.
I will assume you are a democrat...(always blaming Bush, lol)
In the United States, the Firestone recall in the late 1990s (which was linked to more than 100 deaths from rollovers following tire tread-separation), pushed the Clinton administration to legislate the TREAD Act. The Act mandated the use of a suitable TPMS technology in all light motor vehicles (under 10,000 pounds), to help alert drivers to severe under-inflation events. This act affects all light motor vehicles sold after September 1, 2007. Phase-in started in October 2005 at 20%, and reached 100% for models produced after September 2007. In the U.S., as of 2008 and the EU, as of 2012, all new models of passenger cars must be equipped with a TPMS.
I'll assume you are a Republican... always defending Bush and no sense of humor.
I was joking, so lighten up Francis. I am not a Democrat or Republican, as any intelligent person can figure out, having only 2 parties is a big reason why nothing can get done in this country anymore. I vote for the lesser of two evils and call it good. But this is a car forum and it was probably wasn't a good idea making a political joke, so my bad.
I am registered republican but more of a conservative than some (Bush included). I was NOT defending Bush just pointing out that all of the world's woes were not his fault. I actually have a great sense of humor, and it is ok to mix some politics with cars, which is exactly what you and I did. You made a comment about the RIDICULOUS TPMS but blamed the wrong figure head and I corrected it. No hard feelings...Oh and My name isn't Francis

I pick my fiance up from work quite a bit and it annoys me every time I have to shut the engine down, then hit the start button again so I can keep listening to the radio etc
Unless anyone knows how to get around this??????
If you have the CVT, instead of putting the gear in P, put it in N (don't forget to set the parking brake) and push the start/stop button. This will turn the engine off, but leave the accessories on.
Thanks Triggerhappy, I have the manual but I'll try a couple of little things to see if I can get it to work in a similar way!
I hate it that the RF stereo doesn't have aux in.....personally i dont like using USB cus the screen can't display foreign language song titles. I dont like using bluetooth cus the sound quality is awful.

Well I tried having the gearbox in neutral, didnt work. I tried in neutral, clutch depressed, didnt work. I tried foot on brake, clutch depressed, gear in neutral, didnt work. I tried foot on brake, gear in neutral, didnt work.
Any ideas?

Hi Newworld - thanks for the advice, but I have the manual transmission and I've tried different combos, but the engine just cuts out and it doesnt stop on ACC unfortunately. Does anyone know the sequence when it's a manual?

I could bet money that such combination doesn't exist in a MT car. I know that everytime I press the button, it just turns off. I'll try without pressing the clutch, being in neutral, and parking brake on.

Thanks Alex, I think you could be right tho. I have tried every combination I can think of. Oh well.....

HAHA, i FOUND my stuff the other day... you have to slide your seat all the way forward, and adjust it high up, then go from the Driver's Side Back Seat, and feel UNDER the seat TRACK... and you will find your missing french fries! haha....
