Section 2 Features and Controls
2-1

Ignition Positions
With the key in the ignition,
you can turn to four
different positions.
Notice:Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break the
key. Use the correct key and turn the key only with
your hand. Make sure the key is in all the way. If
none of this works, then your vehicle needs service.
OFF:This is the only position from which you can
remove the key. This position locks your ignition and
transaxle. It is a theft-deterrent feature.
ACC (Accessory):In this position you can operate
your electrical accessories such as power windows,
audio system, windshield wipers, and sunroof, if
equipped.ON:This is the position the switch returns to after you
start your engine and release the switch. Even when
the engine is not running, you can use ON to operate
your electrical accessories and to display some
instrument panel cluster warning lights. This is the
position for driving your vehicle.
START:This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch will
return to ON for normal driving.
Even if the engine is not running, ACC and ON are
positions that allow you to operate your electrical
accessories.
Key Reminder Warning
If you leave your key in OFF you will hear a warning
tone when you open the driver’s door.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
After you turn the ignition off and remove the key, you
will still have power to such accessories as the
radio, power windows and sunroof, if equipped, for up to
10 minutes. Power is turned off if you open a door.
Always leave your key in OFF. If you leave your key in
any position other than OFF, your battery will
discharge prematurely.

Front Storage Area
Press the buttons on either side of the armrest to open
the front storage area.
Center Console Storage Area
If your vehicle has this feature, press the button at the
front edge of the armrest to open the center console
storage area.
Rear Seat Pass Through
Your vehicle has a rear seat armrest with cupholders
and a pass-through feature.
Pull down the interior door to access the trunk.
Convenience Net
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You will see
it just inside the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads behind the net. It can help keep them
from falling over during sharp turns or quick starts
and stops. For heavier loads, store them in the trunk as
far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie at when you
are not using it.
Sunroof
Your vehicle may be equipped with a sunroof. The
sunroof has both manual and express features
for opening the glass panel and sunshade.
The switch for the sunroof
is located on the headliner
between the sun visors.
The sunroof switch has a number of positions that
control the sunroof movement.
The switch will work only when the ignition is on or
when the RAP is active. See “Retained Accessory
Power (RAP)” underIgnition Positions on page 2-24.
Open:Press and hold the switch rearward to the
rst position to open the glass panel and sunshade. The
sunshade can also be opened manually.
2-45

Comfort Stop:Press and release the switch rearward
to the second position to express open the glass
panel to the comfort stop position. The comfort stop
position is designed to help reduce noise and make
passengers more comfortable.
Express Open:When the glass panel is express
opening, pressing the switch in any direction will stop it
in a partially-opened position. The glass panel may
be fully opened by pressing the switch rearward again.
If you press and hold the switch in the express open
position for more than one and a half seconds, the
express open operation will be overridden and
the sunroof will operate manually.
Close:To close the glass panel, press and hold the
switch forward. As the glass panel reaches the closed
position, it will open slightly toward the vent position and
then drop down to the closed position to provide a
better seal. The sunshade must be closed manually.
Vent:Once the sunroof is closed, it can be opened to
the vent position by pushing the switch upward. To
close the glass panel, pull the switch downward. The
sunshade must be opened and closed manually for vent
operation.Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat and Mirrors
If your vehicle has this
feature, the controls are
located on the driver’s door
panel, and are used to
program and recall
memory settings for the
driver’s seating, outside
mirror positions and
climate controls. SeeDIC

on page 3-64for more
information.
To save your seat and mirror positions into memory, do
