Run: An “on” position to which the
switch returns after you start your
engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in the
Run position when
the engine is running. But even when
the engine is not running, you can use
Run to operate your electrical power
accessories, and to display some instru-
ment panel warning lights.
Start: Starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the ley. The
ignition switch will return to
Run for
normal driving.
Note that even
if the engine is not
running, the positions
Accessory and
Run are “on” positions that allow you
to operate your electrical accessories,
such as the radio.
Starting Your Engine
1. 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.
2. Don’t push the accelerator pedal
before starting your engine. In some
other vehicles you might need to do
this, but because of your vehicle’s
computer systems, you don’t.

a new odometer installed.
If the new one can be s&to the mileage
total
of the old odometer, then it must
be. But
if it can’t, then it’s set at zero
and a label must be put on the- driver’s

Pushing the ENG/MET rocker switch
on the center console
will switch the
HUD speedometer from English
(conventional) to metric units, or back
again.
Some vehicles may not be
equipped
with the ENG/MET switch.
Care of the Head-Up Display
Clean the inside of the windshield as
needed to remove any dirt or
film that
reduces the sharpness
or clarity of the
HUD image.
To Clean the HUD:
Spray household glass cleaner on a soft,
clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently,
then
dry it. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the lens, because the cleaner
fluid could leak inside the unit
if you do.
If You Can’t See the HUD Image
When the Ignition
is On:
Is anything cbvering the HUD unit?
Is the HUD dimmer control close
enough
to MAX?
Is the HUD image-adjusted to the
proper height?
Still no HUD image? Check the fuse
in the
CLUST position in the glove
box fuse panel. See the Index under
Fuses G Circuit Breakers.
