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.
