Default Question on start/acc switch

Hi everyone! New member here that is really enjoying this forum. I do have a question regarding my new Corvette.
I took delivery of a torch red 2011 Grand Sport 13 days ago. Its my first vette since the mid 70s when I entered college and sold my '60 for tuition money. Anyways, I wanted to set my preferences for the door auto lock/unlock etc, and the manual said to "turn the car on". The accessary position does not allow access to these adjustments so I started the car and set my preferences that way. My question: There must be a way to put the car in the "run" position without starting it, right? How so? Thanks in advance.
Mark

Hold ACC mode for 10 secs.

That makes the car go from Accessory to "everything on but engine doesn't crank" mode. Drains the battery quicker than Accessory.

For stuff like changing the options, I just start it.

Thanks Guys!
I knew there had to be a way especially when the book said to "turn off lights to prevent excessive battery drain".
Thanks again, Mark
