sunroof (option), radio and the windshield wipers.
ON:
This is the position the switch returns to after you

position for normal driving. Even when the engine is not
running, you can use
ON
to
operate your electrical
accessories and
to
display some instrument panel
warning lights.
START: This position starts your engine. When the

for normal driving.
Key Reminder Warning
If you leave your key in the
OFF
ignition position, you
will hear a warning chime when you open the
driver’s door.
Always leave your key in
OFF.
If
you leave
it
in any
other position, you will drain the battery power.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
After you turn the ignition
off
and remove the key, you
will still have power
to
accessories such as the
power windows, audio steering wheel controls, clock,
sunroof (option), accessory power outlet and the
radio for up
to
10
minutes. The instrument panel cluster
lights will stay on for
a
few seconds, then go
out.
Once you open a door, the power will shut off.
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 your
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, hold your key in
START for about
10
seconds at a time until your
engine starts. Wait about
15
seconds between
each
try.
