How do I turn off ALL power, not just ignition?

Bought 2024 Crosstrek Limited yesterday. Love it! BUT — when I turned off the ignition, my Starlink multimedia screen stayed on and music continued to play. I turned it off by pushing and holding the volume button, but I am worried that other parts of the electrical system are still on and are going to drain my battery. I would just prefer to know that when I turn off the ignition I have turned off EVERYTHING (ignition plus all power). Is there a way to do that?

Related topic — what in the world is this “accessory” mode? It seems like sort of the opposite situation — I.e., when I might want to have the ignition off but I DO want to play the radio? Correct? Is that somehow related to my question above? Could I, somehow, when turning off the ignition, have turned it to accessory mode instead? And what does the brake pedal have to do with any of this?!?

Sorry for my ignorance! Worried about draining the battery! Thanks!

Thanks, all!

cherrytrek, I think you answered my question! I don’t think I had opened the door yet.

RL Sanders, I actually love reading the manual and spent quite a bit of time with it this morning, including in the car! It is 500+ pages long, though, and here’s what I found in the part about stopping/starting with push button start:

Stopping Engine

1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2. Move the select lever to the “P”
position.
3. Press the push-button ignition switch.
The engine will stop, and the power will be switched off.

So — that was my confusion. The power did NOT seem to be off, because the music kept playing. But, as cherrytrek guessed, I had not opened the door.

Thanks for quick responses! Nice to know I can find helpful people here!
