B (LOCK): This is the only position in which you can insert or remove the key. This position locks the ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It's a theft-deterrent feature. Notice: If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you key; if can't turn it, be sure you are using the correct so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and right while you turn the key hard. 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. Retained Accessory Power (RAP) With Retained Accessory Power (RAP), your power windows, audio system and sunroof (if equipped) will continue to work for up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned to OFF and before any of the doors are 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. C (OFF): This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock the steering wheel. Use OFF if you must have your vehicle pushed or towed. D (RUN): This position is where the key returns to after you start your vehicle. With the engine off, you can use RUN to display some of your warning and indicator lights. 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 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. E (START): This position starts your engine. A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's door when the ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY and the key is in the ignition. 2-19
