B
(ACCESSORY): This position lets you use things like
the radio and the windshield wipers when the engine
is
off.
Notice:
Don’t operate accessories
in
the
ACCESSORY position for long periods
of
time.
Prolonged operation of accessories
in
the
ACCESSORY position could drain your battery and
prevent you from starting your vehicle.

(RUN):
This is the position for driving.
D
(START): This position starts the engine.
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 up
to
10
minutes
after the ignition key
is
turned
to
LOCK.
Your radio and power windows 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
Your
Engine
Move your shift lever
to
PARK
(P)
or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position
-
that’s a
safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL
(N)
only.
Notice:
Don’t 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.
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 doesn’t start within
10
seconds, push the
accelerator pedal all the way
to
the floor, 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.
