brake to start the engine. The shifter must be in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N) to start the engine and the keyless
access transmitter must be in the vehicle for the ignition
to work.

ACC (OFF/ACCESSORY): When this button is
pressed, the engine will turn off even if the shifter is not
in PARK (P). If the shifter is in PARK (P), the ignition
mode will change to Retained Accessory Power (RAP),
if all doors are closed. The ignition mode will change
to OFF, if a front door is opened.
Your vehicle has an
electronic keyless ignition
with pushbutton start.
See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-22
for more information. If the shifter is not in PARK (P),
the ignition mode will change to ACC (Accessory).
See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-30.
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 towed. If the door is open while
in accessory mode, the key in reminder chime will
sound continuously.
If the push-button start is not working, your vehicle
may be near a strong radio antenna signal causing
interference to the keyless access system. See DIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-67 for more
information.
After being in ACC for about 20 minutes, the vehicle will
automatically enter RAP or will turn off, depending on if
the doors are opened or closed.
