Retained Accessory Power (RAP) These vehicle accessories can be used for up to 10 minutes after the engine is turned off: • Audio System • Power Windows • Sunroof (if equipped) Power to the audio system will work up to 10 minutes or until the driver door is opened. Power to the windows or sunroof will work up to 10 minutes or until any door is opened. For an additional 10 minutes of operation, close all the doors and turn the key to ON/RUN and then back to LOCK/OFF. If the vehicle has the keyless access system, put your foot on the brake pedal and turn the ignition control knob to the START position. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the ignition control knob, it will return to the ON/RUN position. If the transmitter is not in the vehicle or something is interfering with the transmitter, the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display Electronic Key Not Detected. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57 for more information. If the battery in the keyless access transmitter needs replacing, the DIC displays Replace Battery In Remote Key. The vehicle can still be driven. See "Battery Replacement" under Keyless Access System Operation on page 2-9 for more information. Notice: Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage the transmission. Shift to P (Park) only when the vehicle is stopped. Starting the Engine Place the transmission in the proper gear. If the vehicle has the keyless access system, the keyless access transmitter must be authenticated in order for the ignition control knob to turn. The transmitter can be authenticated either by putting your foot on the brake pedal or by pushing the ignition control knob in. Manual Transmission The shift lever should be in neutral position and the parking brake engaged. Hold the clutch pedal down to the floor and start the engine. The vehicle will not start if the clutch pedal is not all the way down. Automatic Transmission Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral). The engine will not start in any other position. To restart the engine when the vehicle is already moving, use N (Neutral) only. 2-34
