Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Ignition  Positions 
With the ignition  key  in  the  ignition  switch,  you  can  turn 
the  key  to  four  different  positions: 
OFF: This  position  lets you 
turn 
off the  engine  and 
remove  the  key.  It doesn’t 
lock  the  steering  wheel. 
NOTICE: 
If  your  key  seems  stuck  in  OFF  and  you  can’t 
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. 
- ~ 
ACC: This position  lets  you  use  things  like  the  radio  and 
the  windshield  wipers  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). 
ON: This  is the  position  for driving. 
START This  starts  the  engine. 
Retained  Accessory  Power (RAP) 
The  following  accessories on your  vehicle  may  be  used 
for  up  to

ON to OFF: 
Cellular  Phone  (If  Equipped) 
Radio 
Power  Windows 
Steering  Wheel  Controls  (If  Equipped) 
Express  Sunroof  (Option) 
Power  to  these  accessories  stops  after 
10 minutes  or  if 
any  door  is opened.  If  you  want  power  for another 
10 minutes,  close  all  the  doors,  turn  the  ignition key to 
ON and  then  back  to OFF. If the  cellular  phone  is being 
used  while  Retained  Accessory  Power  is in  effect,  the 
timer  is  suspended  (to  avoid  interruption  of the  call). 
The  timer  resets  to 
10 minutes  at the  end  of  the  call.
