Section 2 Features and Controls

Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) feature which will allow certain features of
your vehicle to continue to work for up to 20 minutes
after the ignition key is turned to OFF.
Your radio, power windows, sunroof, and overhead
console will work when the ignition key is in RUN
or ACCESSORY. Once the key is turned from RUN to
OFF, these features will continue to work for up to
20 minutes or until a door is opened.
Starting Your Engine
Automatic Transmission
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine will not start in any other position — that is
a safety feature. To restart when you are already
moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only.
Notice:Do not try to shift to PARK (P) if your
vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
Manual Transmission
The gear selector should be in NEUTRAL and the
parking brake engaged. Hold the clutch pedal to the oor
and start the engine. Your vehicle will not start if the
clutch pedal is not all the way down — that is a safety
feature.
Starting Your Engine
1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the
ignition key to START. When the engine starts,
let go of the key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.
Notice:Holding your key in START for longer than
15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to
be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat
can damage your starter motor. Wait about
15 seconds between each try to help avoid draining
your battery or damaging your starter.
2. If it does not start within 10 seconds, push the
accelerator pedal all the way to the oor, while you
hold the ignition key in START. When the engine
starts, let go of the key and let up on the accelerator
pedal. Wait about 15 seconds between each try.

You will also nd a soda pop/gallon jug holder (D) on
the passenger side of the convenience system.
Some vehicles do not have this feature, but instead
include a smaller storage area.
To remove the entire convenience system, do the
following:
1. Remove the convenience net if it is in place. See
Convenience Net on page 2-54for more
information. You may also want to remove the
partitions (C) and fold the collapsible dividers (A) to
make the convenience system easier to handle.
2. Grasp the sides of the convenience system and
push the sides together while sliding the unit out
until it clears the sides of the tailgate opening.
To reinstall the convenience system, reverse the
removal procedure.Sunroof

B. Front
If the vehicle has a sunroof, the switch is located
between the sun visors.
To open or close the sunroof, the ignition needs to
be in RUN or ACCESSORY or Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) needs to be active. SeeRetained
Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-23.

The sunroof has the following three positions:
Vent:The sunroof ips up in the rear and opens
partially to allow outside air to enter the vehicle.
Slide:The sunroof slides rearward fully to allow outside
air to enter the vehicle.
Close:The sunroof is closed and no outside air enters
the vehicle.
To open the sunroof do one of the following:
To open in vent mode, press and hold the front side
of the switch until the sunroof ips up to the desired
position and then release it to stop the glass from
moving.
If the button continues to be held, the glass will
automatically stop when it is fully opened.
To open in slide mode, press and release the rear
side of the switch to fully open the sunroof. It will
open automatically and stop when it is fully opened.
To stop the sunroof at any position before it
reaches the fully open position, press and release
the button again.
To close the sunroof do one of the following:
To close from the vent position, push and hold the
rear side of the switch.
The sunroof will automatically stop when it is fully
closed.
To close from the slide position, press and hold the
front side of the switch.
The glass will automatically stop when it is fully
