Section 2 Features and Controls
94

The battery could be drained if you leave the
key in the ignition while your vehicle is parked.
You may not be able to start your vehicle after
it has been parked for an extended period of time.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
Your vehicle has a Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) feature which will allow the radio,
power windows and sunroof to continue to work
up to 10 minutes after the ignition is turned
off or the driver’s door is opened.
All these features will work when the ignition
key is in RUN or ACC.
Starting the Engine
Place the transaxle in the proper gear.
Automatic Transaxle
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N). Your engine will not start in
any other position -- this is a safety feature.
To restart when you are already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.
Notice:Shifting into PARK (P) with the vehicle
moving could damage the transaxle. Shift into
PARK (P) only when your vehicle is stopped.
Manual Transaxle
The shift lever should be in the neutral position
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 Procedure
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. Do not
race the engine immediately after starting it.
Operate the engine and transaxle gently to
allow the oil to warm up and lubricate all
moving parts.
Your vehicle has a Computer-Controlled
Cranking System. This feature assists in
starting the engine and protects components. If
the ignition key is turned to the START position,
and then released when the engine begins
cranking, the engine will continue cranking
for a few seconds or until the vehicle starts.

Sunroof
If the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, the
controls to operate it are located on the headliner
above the rearview mirror. The ignition must
be in RUN or ACC, or Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) must be active, to operate the
sunroof. SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP)
on page 116for more information.
To express-open the
sunroof glass panel
and sunshade, press
the switch rearward
and release it.To stop the sunroof before it is completely open,
press the switch rearward again. The sunshade
cannot be closed with the sunroof open.
To close the sunroof, press forward and hold the
switch until the sunroof stops, lifts and seals
at the back of the sunroof glass. Press forward
on the switch again, to make sure the sunroof is
fully closed
To put the sunroof in the vent position, pull down
on the front of the switch. Push up on the front
of the switch to close it.

Care of Your CDs and DVDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans
the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or
scratched, the CD does not play properly or not at
all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft,
lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth
in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with
water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface.
Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or
the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not
advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens
of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the
CD mechanism.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of
your vehicle. This type of antenna is used with
an AM/FM radio, and if your vehicle has the
OnStar
®and/or the XM™ Satellite Radio Service
System. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception. If your vehicle
has a sunroof, the performance of the radio
system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle
can interfere with the performance of the radio
system and, if your vehicle has this feature,
OnStar
®. Make sure the multi-band antenna is
not obstructed.
