Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

Your vehicle has a Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
feature which allow's the radio, power windows, and
sunroof to continue to work up to 10 minutes after the
ignition is turned off.
Your vehicle's radio will work when the ignition key is in
RUN or ACC. Once the key is turned from RUN to
LOCK, the radio will continue to work for 10 minutes or
until the driver's door is opened. Also, the power
windows and sunroof will continue to work for up to
10 minutes or until any door is opened.

Starting the Engine

Automatic Transaxle
Move the shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
The engine will not start in any other position — that is
a safety feature. To restart when you are already
moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only.
Notice: Shifting into PARK (P) with the vehicle
moving could damage the transaxle. Shift into
PARK (P) only when your vehicle is stopped.
Manual Transaxle
The shift lever should be in NEUTRAL and the parking
brake engaged. Hold the clutch pedal to the floor
and start the engine. Your vehicle will not start if the
clutch pedal is not all the way down — that is a
safety feature.
