Retained Accessory Power (Rap) - Chevrolet 2010 Corvette Owner's Manual

9 Acc. (OFF/ACCESSORY): When the engine is
on or the vehicle is in accessory power mode, it is
recommended that a manual transmission be placed
in R (Reverse). An automatic transmission must
be placed in P (Park). Then press the Acc. button to
turn the engine off and place the vehicle in RAP.
See "Retained Accessory Power (RAP)" later for more
information. If an automatic vehicle is not correctly
placed in P (Park) a SHIFT TO PARK message
will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
For more information, see DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4-51.
When the engine is off, press this button to place the
vehicle in accessory mode. ACCESSORY MODE
ON 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 the vehicle in
motion while the engine is off, for example, if the vehicle
is being pushed or towed.
After being in accessory mode for about 10 minutes, the
vehicle will automatically enter RAP or OFF, depending
on if the doors are opened or closed.
