9 ACC (OFF/ACCESSORY): When this button is pressed, the engine will turn off even if the shifter is not in PARK (P). If the shifter is in PARK (P), the ignition mode will change to RAP, if all doors are closed. The ignition mode will change to OFF, if a front door is opened. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-25 for more information. If the shifter is not in PARK (P), the ignition mode will change to ACC. See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-36. Retained Accessory Power (RAP) The following accessories on your vehicle may be used for up to 20 minutes after the engine is turned off: • Radio • Power Windows • Audio Steering Wheel Controls Power to these accessories stops after 20 minutes or if one of the front doors is opened. If you want power for another 20 minutes, close all the doors and press the OFF/ACCESSORY button to place the vehicle in accessory mode. Press the button again and the vehicle will return to RAP. When the engine is off, press this button to place the vehicle in accessory mode. ACCESSORY ACTIVE will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). This mode allows you to use things like the radio and the windshield wipers while the engine is off. Use accessory mode if you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine is off, for example, if your vehicle is being towed. If the door is open while in accessory mode, the key in reminder chime will sound continuously. If the push-button start is not working, your vehicle may be near a strong radio antenna signal causing interference to the keyless access system. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-79 for more information. After being in ACC for about 20 minutes, the vehicle will automatically enter RAP or will turn off, depending on if the doors are opened or closed. Starting the Engine Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine will not start in any other position - that is a safety feature. To restart when you are already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. The keyless access transmitter must be in the vehicle for the ignition to work. 2-25
