Notice:
If
your key seems stuck in LOCK and you
can’t turn
it,
be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is
it
all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a
tool to force
it
could break the
key or the ignition switch. If none of these works,
then your vehicle needs service.
B
(ACCESSORY): This position allows you
to
use
things like the radio, power windows and the windshield
wipers when the engine is
off.
C (RUN): This position is for driving.
D
(START): This position starts your engine.
Retained Accessory
Power
(RAP)
The Retained Accessory Power (RAP) feature will allow
certain features on your vehicle
to
continue to work
for
up
to
10
minutes after the ignition key is turned
to
LOCK.
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.
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.
