Make sure the keyless access
transmitter is inside the vehicle
when trying to turn the ignition
control knob.
A (STOPPING THE ENGINE/
LOCK/OFF): When the vehicle is
stopped, turn the ignition switch to
LOCK/OFF to turn the engine off.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
will remain active. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 8 23.
The ignition control knob cannot
be removed from the vehicle.
The keyless access transmitter
must be inside the vehicle to start
the engine. This position locks
the ignition and shift lever on
automatic transmission vehicles,
and the ignition and steering wheel
on manual transmission vehicles.
Do not turn the engine off when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause
a loss of power assist in the brake
and steering systems and disable
the airbags.
If the vehicle must be shut off in an
emergency:
1. Brake using a firm and steady
pressure. Do not pump the
brakes repeatedly. This may
deplete power assist, requiring
increased brake pedal force.
2. Shift the vehicle to neutral.
This can be done while the
vehicle is moving. After shifting
to neutral, firmly apply the
brakes and steer the vehicle
to a safe location.
3. Come to a complete stop.
Shift to P (Park) with an
automatic transmission,
or Neutral with a manual
transmission. Turn the
ignition to LOCK/OFF.
4. Set the parking brake.
See Parking Brake (Manual) on
page 8 36 or Parking Brake
(Electric) on page 8 37.

ACC/ACCESSORY.

like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine is off.
This position will allow you to
turn off the engine.
