Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
These vehicle accessories can be used for up to
10 minutes after the engine is turned off:
•
Audio System
•
Power Windows
•
Sunroof (if equipped)
Power to the audio system will work up to 10 minutes or
until the driver door is opened. Power to the windows or
sunroof will work up to 10 minutes or until any door is
opened. For an additional 10 minutes of operation, close
all the doors and turn the key to ON/RUN and then back
to LOCK/OFF.
Starting the Engine
Place the transmission in the proper gear.
Automatic Transmission
Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral). The
engine will not start in any other position. To restart
the engine when the vehicle is already moving, use
N (Neutral) only.
If the vehicle has the keyless access system, put your
foot on the brake pedal and turn the ignition control knob
to the START position. When the engine begins cranking,
let go of the ignition control knob, it will return to the
ON/RUN position.
If the transmitter is not in the vehicle or something is
interfering with the transmitter, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) will display Electronic Key Not Detected.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-58 for
more information.
If the battery in the keyless access transmitter needs
replacing, the DIC displays Replace Battery In Remote
Key. The vehicle can still be driven. See “Battery
Replacement” under Keyless Access System Operation
on page 2-8 for more information.
Notice: Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the
vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage
the transmission. Shift to P (Park) only when
the vehicle is stopped.
Manual Transmission
The shift lever should be in neutral position and the
parking brake engaged. Hold the clutch pedal down to
the floor and start the engine. The vehicle will not start if
the clutch pedal is not all the way down.
