electronic keyless ignition
with a pushbutton start.
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 REVERSE (R). An automatic transmission must be
placed in PARK (P). 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 PARK (P) a SHIFT TO PARK message will display on
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
For more information, see DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-53.
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 your vehicle in motion while the engine is off,
for example, if your vehicle is being pushed or towed.
After being in accessory mode for about 20 minutes, the
vehicle will automatically enter RAP or OFF, depending
on if the doors are opened or closed.
