NOTICE:

If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key;
if so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break
the key or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.

B (Accessory): This position lets you use things like the
radio and the windshield wipers when the engine is off.

NOTICE:

Don’t operate accessories in the ACCESSORY
position for long periods of time. Prolonged
operation of accessories in the ACCESSORY
position could drain the battery and prevent
you from starting your vehicle.

C (Run): This is the position for driving.

D (Start): This position starts the engine.

Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) feature which will allow certain features
of your vehicle to continue to work up to 20 minutes
after the ignition key is turned to LOCK.

Your radio, power windows, sunroof (option) and
overhead console will work when the ignition key is
in RUN or ACCESSORY. Once the key is turned from
RUN to LOCK, these features will continue to work
for up to 20 minutes or until a door is opened.

is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to PARK (P) only when
