Section 2 Features and Controls
112
Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it
is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you
leave the key in the ignition and park your vehicle,a
chime will sound, when you open the driver’s door.
Always remember to remove your key from the
ignition and take it with you. This will lock your
ignition and transaxle. Also, always remember to
lock the doors.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
Your vehicle has a Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) feature which will allow certain features on
your vehicle to continue to work up to 10 minutes
after the ignition key is turned to LOCK.
The radio, power windows, and if the vehicle has
a sunroof and the OnStar
®System, will work
when the ignition key is in RUN or ACCESSORY.
Once the key is turned from RUN to LOCK,
these features will continue to work for up to
10 minutes or until a door is opened.
Starting the Engine
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.
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 transmission
gently until the oil warms up and lubricates all
moving parts.
Your vehicle has a Computer-Controlled
Cranking System. This feature assists in
starting the engine and protects the electrical
system.

Slide the hinge covers to the center of each side.
This will keep the sides of the storage system
stationary allowing it to stay upright. Inside
the system are two removable dividers. To
remove, unhook the loops at the ends of each
divider. When not in use, slide the hinge covers
back and the storage system will fold back
down. Press down on the storage cover to lock it
into place.
On the opposite side of the system are two
cupholders.
Sunroof
Your vehicle may be equipped with a power
sliding sunroof. To open or close the sunroof, the
ignition needs to be turned to ON, or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) must be active.
When RAP is active, the sunroof will work for
10 minutes after the ignition is turned off, or until a
front door is opened. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 141for more information.
There are two switches
in the overhead console
that operate the
sunroof.
Manual-Open/Manual-Close:To open the
sunroof press and hold the rear of the driver’s side
switch until the sunroof reaches the desired
position.
185
To close the sunroof, press and hold the front of
the driver’s side switch until the sunroof reaches
the desired position. The sunshade will open
automatically with the sunroof, but can also be
opened manually.
When the sunroof is opened, an air de ector will
automatically raise. The air de ector will retract
when the sunroof is closed.
Express-Open/Express-Close:To express-open
the sunroof, fully press and release the rear of
the driver’s side switch. The sunroof will open
automatically. To stop the sunroof partway, press
the switch a second time. To express-close
the sunroof, fully press and release the front of the
driver’s side switch. The sunroof will close
automatically. To stop the sunroof partway, press
the switch a second time. The sunshade will
open automatically with the sunroof, but can also
be opened manually.
When the sunroof is opened, an air de ector will
automatically raise. The air de ector will retract
when the sunroof is closed.Vent:From the closed position, press the rear of
the passenger’s side switch to vent the sunroof.
To stop the sunroof partway, press the switch
a second time. To close the sunroof, press and
hold the front of the passenger’s side switch.
To stop the sunroof partway, release the switch.
Anti-Pinch Feature:If an object is in the
path of the sunroof while it is closing, the
anti-pinch feature will detect the object and stop
the sunroof from closing at the point of the
obstruction. The sunroof will then open halfway,
and the air de ector will raise. To close the sunroof
once it has re-opened, refer to the “Express-Close”
or “Manual-Close” functions described previously.
If the sunroof is in the vent position, and there
is an object in the path of the sunroof when
it closing, the anti-pinch feature will detect the
object and stop the sunroof. To close the sunroof
once it has re-opened, refer to the “Manual-Close”
or “Express-Close” functions described previously.
