How do I turn off accessories so I can clean the car without draining my battery? Everything is powered on, and I try hitting the start stop once and everything is staying on? *

Press your volume knob for ~2 seconds. Electronics should power down.

Like another use said below, hold the volume knob down for a couple seconds.

Regardless, even if the accessory is on the car will power down when required to preserve battery without malfunction. Would be the same way if you parked the car and walked away without locking. The car is smart and knows when battery startability limit is reached to ensure car can be started.
