ACC (Accessory): This is the position in which you
can operate your electrical accessories. With the key in
this position, the ignition and automatic transaxle will
unlock.
ON:
This is the position to which the switch returns
after you start the engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in ON when the engine is running. But even
when the engine is not running, you can use
ON
to
operate your electrical accessories and to display some
instrument panel cluster messages and warning
lights.
START: This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch will
return to
ON
for normal driving.
When the engine is not running, ACC and ON allow you
to operate your electrical accessories, such as the radio.
A warning chime will sound
if
you open the driver’s door
while the ignition is in
OFF
or
ACC
and the key
is
in
the ignition.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
With Retained Accessory Power (RAP), your power
windows, audio system and sunroof (option) will
continue to work for up to
10
minutes after the ignition is
turned to
OFF
and none
of
the doors 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
transaxle. Shift to
PARK
(P) only when your
vehicle
is
stopped.
Starting
Your
3400
V6
Engine
1.
With your foot
off
the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let
go
of
the key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine warms up.
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
the engine doesn’t start in
10
seconds, push the
accelerator pedal about one-quarter of the way
down while you turn the key to START.
Do
this until
the engine starts. As soon as it does, let go of
the key.
