A warning chime will sound
if
you open the driver’s door
when the ignition is
off and the key is in the ignition.
Notice:
If
your key seems stuck in
OFF
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 this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
B
(ACCESSORY): This position unlocks the transaxle.
It also lets you use things like the radio and windshield
wipers when the engine is not running. To use
ACCESSORY, turn the key clockwise to the first
position. Use this position
if
your vehicle must be pushed
or towed, but never try to push-start your vehicle.
C (ON): This position is where the key returns to after
you start your engine and release the key. The
ignition 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 warning lights.
D (START): This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch
will return to ON for normal driving.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) feature which will allow the radio to
continue
to
work up to
10
minutes after the ignition is
turned to OFF.
Your radio will work when the ignition key is in ON or
ACCESSORY. Once the key is turned from ON
to
OFF,
the radio will continue
to
work up
to
10
minutes or
until the driver’s door is opened.
Starting Your Engine
Automatic Transaxle
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.
Manual Transaxle
The gear selector should be in neutral and the parking
brake engaged. Hold the clutch pedal to the floor
and start the engine. Your vehicle won’t start
if
the clutch
pedal is not all the way down
-
that’s a safety feature.
