ACC: Accessory lets you use things like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine
is off. To get into “ACC”, push in the key and turn
it toward
you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it was
before you inserted the key.

car is being pushed).

it is all the way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
fight while you turn the key hard, But turn the key only with
your hand. Using a toooil to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch, If none .of this works, then your vehicle needs
service.

Number (VIN) shows
the code letter or number for your engine. You will
find the VIN at the top left
of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper steps
to start the
engine.
Move your shift lever to
“P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use
“N” (Neutral) only.

This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease.

steering effort is also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount of steering effort is greatly increased to provide
a manual like
steering feel for maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability\
