Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory Power (RAP) feature. It allows certain features on your vehicle to continue to work for up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned to OFF. Your convertible top, power windows, power mirrors and audio system will work when the ignition key is in RUN or ACCESSORY. Once the key is turned from RUN to OFF, these features will continue to work for up to 10 minutes or until a door is opened. Your power door unlock and remote hatch release features will work when the ignition key is in RUN or ACCESSORY, or if either door is open. Once the key is turned to OFF, these features will continue to work for up to 10 minutes. If a door is open and the ignition key is off, these features will continue to work until both doors have been closed for about 30 seconds or until the theft-deterrent system arms. At that time, both the power door unlock and remote hatch release features will be disabled to enhance the security of the vehicle. The power door lock function will work at all times except when lockout prevention is enabled. See "Lockout Prevention" in the Index. Starting Your Engine Automatic Transmission 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 transmission. Shift to PARK (P) only when your vehicle is stopped. Manual Transmission 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. 2-32
