NOTICE:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long
run
if you follow these guidelines:
0
e
0
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
Don’t tow
a trailer during break-in.
See “Towing
a Trailer’’ in the Index for
more information.

With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five different positions.
ACCESSORY (A): This position lets you use things
like the radio and the windshield wipers when the
engine is
off. To get into ACCESSORY, push in the key
and turn it toward you. The steering wheel will remain
locked, just as it was before you inserted the key.

be in LOCK. This is the only position in which you can
remove the key. This position locks the ignition, steering
wheel and transaxle. It’s a theft-deterrent feature.

turn
it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the
key hard. But 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.

for up to
10 minutes after the ignition key is turned from

LOCK when using RAP.
If you leave your key in
any other position than LOCK, your battery will
discharge prematurely.

still turn the steering wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering
wheel like LOCK does. Use

vehicle in motion while the engine is off (for example, if
your vehicle is being pushed).

battery against drainage from the interior lamps,
trunk lamp, glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the
garage door opener. When the ignition is turned
off,
the power to these features will automatically turn off
after 10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles

10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened or
the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Storage Mode Personalization
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the Driver Information Center
(DIC) while the ignition is in RUN. Storage mode
personalization protects the battery by placing your
vehicle
in a storage mode so that the radio, amplifiers,
instrument cluster and remote keyless entry will not
drain the battery over a long period of time. For
programming information, see “Programmable, Memory
and Personalization Features” later in
this section.

gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when.the glare is reduced.
