LOCK (STOPPING THE ENGINE/
LOCK/OFF): When the vehicle is
stopped, turn the ignition switch to
LOCK/OFF to turn the engine off.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) will

you can remove the key. This locks the
steering wheel, ignition, and automatic
transmission. Push in the ignition

of power assist in the brake and steering
systems and disable the airbags.
If the vehicle must be shut off in an
emergency:
1. Brake using a firm and steady
pressure. Do not pump the brakes
repeatedly. This may deplete power
assist, requiring increased brake
pedal force.
2. Shift the vehicle to neutral. This can
be done while the vehicle is
moving. After shifting to neutral,
firmly apply the brakes and steer
the vehicle to a safe location.
3. Come to a complete stop. Shift to P

electrical accessories. It unlocks the
steering wheel and ignition. To move
the key from ACC/ ACCESSORY to
LOCK/OFF, push in the key and then
