Ignition Positions
With the key in the ignition
switch, located on the
instrument panel, you can
turn the key to four
different positions:
Notice: If your key seems stuck in OFF and you
can not turn it, be sure you are using the correct
key; if so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break the
key or the ignition switch. If none of this works, then
your vehicle needs service.
OFF: This is the only position in which you can insert
or remove the key. This position also locks the transaxle.
It’s a theft-deterrent feature.
ACC (Accessory): This position lets you use things
like the radio, windshield wipers, power windows
and optional sunroof when the engine is off. Use ACC if
you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine
is off, for example, if your vehicle is being pushed
or towed.
ON: This is the position for driving.
START: This position starts the engine.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The following accessories on your vehicle may be used
for up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned
from ON to OFF:
•
Cellular Phone (If Equipped)
•
Radio
•
Power Windows
•
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
•
Sunroof (Option)
Power to these accessories stops after 10 minutes or if
a door is opened. If you want power for another 10
minutes, close all the doors and turn the ignition key to
ON and then back to OFF. If the cellular phone is
being used while retained accessory power is active,
the timer is suspended to avoid interruption of the call.
The timer resets to 10 minutes at the end of the call.
