Discharged Battery

Hot day and I went to my MDX 2014 Advanced and pushed the start button twice to be able to lower the windows for a while and let out the hot air. Put the windows back up and went back in to my CClub forgetting to push the start button again to full off. After 2 hours at dinner came out and there was not enough battery power to start, only enough to light the dash and turn on the lights. I can't believe there is no auto shutoff of position 2 after say 30 minutes or so to avoid full battery drainage. Any way to set a default time for position 2. Bought a battery charger and when it started charging the bat was down to 10% after driving home (jump started at club).

The problem is that there is a battery minder Hopefully you wont have to play whack the electrical mole to figure out what the issue is. Maybe its just a bum battery. Good luck! Keep us posted.

Up to now, there is no automaker on earth who has put in a default shutoff timer in the key "II" position.

It should have beeped at you when you exited and closed the door. (Assuming you did not leave the key in the car)

You can lower the windows with your remote (hold unlock). Raise them by using the little key in the door handle (turn to lock twice and hold).
