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,
windshield wipers, power windows and sunroof (option)
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 or towed).
ON: This is the position for driving.
START: This position starts the engine.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The following accessories on your vehicle may be used
for up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned from
ON to OFF:

Cellular Phone (If Equipped)

Radio

Power Windows

Audio Steering Wheel Controls

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 and turn the ignition key
to ON and then back to OFF. If the cellular phone is
being used while retained accessory power is active, the
timer is suspended (to avoid interruption of the call).
The timer resets to 10 minutes at the end of the call.

Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the driver's door switches
and to the ignition key when a door is opened or if you
press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
unlock button. The illuminated entry system works with
the light sensor and it must be dark outside in order for
the courtesy lamps or backlighting to turn on. The
courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after
the last door is closed or after the ignition key is turned
to ON or if the RKE transmitter lock button is pressed.
The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 40 seconds
after the doors are unlocked with the RKE transmitter if
no door is opened.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument
panel lights during daylight while the parking lamps are
on. This feature works with the light sensor and is fully
automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside,
the instrument panel lights can be adjusted by following
the steps under ªInstrument Panel Intensity/Brightness
Control.º Backlighting to the instrument panel will also
turn on.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on when any door
is opened and it is dark outside. The rear lamps come on
when a rear door is opened. Press the button near the
lamps to turn them on and off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed to
monitor the vehicle's electrical load and determine when
the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During
times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a
higher revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than normal
to make sure the battery charges. High electrical loads
may occur when several of the following are on:
headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window
defogger, high blower fan, heated seats and engine
cooling fans.

Sunroof (Option)
The two control switches to operate the sunroof are
located on the overhead console. The control switches
work only when the ignition is on or when the ignition is
off and the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
See ªRetained Accessory Powerº in the Index.

switch rearward to the first
position to open the glass
panel and sunshade.
The sunshade can also be
opened or closed by hand.
To close the glass panel,
press and hold the ROOF
switch forward.Press and release the ROOF switch rearward to the
second position to express
-open the glass panel to the
comfort stop position. The comfort stop is designed to
help reduce noise and make the rear passengers more
comfortable. The glass panel may then be fully opened
by pressing the roof switch again. If you want to stop
the glass panel in a partially
-open position, press either
the ROOF or VENT switch in any direction.
If you press and hold the ROOF switch in the
express
-open position for more than one second,
express open will be overridden and the sunroof will
stop when the switch is released.
To vent the sunroof, press
and hold the upper part
of the VENT switch.
