Ignition Positions
Use the key to turn the ignition switch to four different
positions.
A (Lock):This position locks the ignition and
transmission. It is a theft-deterrent feature. You will only
be able to remove the key when the ignition is turned
to LOCK.
Notice:Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break the key.
Use the correct key and turn the key only with your
hand. Make sure the key is in all the way. If none of
this works, then your vehicle needs service.B (Accessory):This position lets you use things
like the radio and the windshield wipers when the
engine is off.
Notice:Lengthy operation of features such as
the radio in the accessory ignition position may
drain the battery and prevent your vehicle from
starting. Do not operate your vehicle in the
accessory ignition position for a long period
of time.
C (Run):This is the position for driving.
D (Start):This position starts the engine.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) feature which will allow certain features of
your vehicle to continue to work up to 20 minutes
after the ignition key is turned to LOCK.
Your radio, power windows, sunroof (option) and
overhead console (including tailgate glass and power
roof) will work when the ignition key is in RUN or
ACCESSORY. Once the key is turned from RUN to
LOCK, these features will continue to work for up
to 20 minutes or until a door is opened.

Windshield Wipers
8(Mist):For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to
mist. Hold it there until the wipers start. Then let go.
The wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want
more wipes, hold the band on mist longer.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band to off.
N(Windshield Wipers):Turn the band to control the
windshield wipers.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain
or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time.
The closer to the top of the lever, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the rst solid band past the delay settings.
For high-speed wiping, turn the band further, to the
second solid band past the delay settings. To stop the
wipers, move the band to off.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Rainsense™ Wipers
Your vehicle may be equipped with Rainsense™
windshield wipers. When active, these wipers are able
to detect moisture on the windshield and automatically
turn on the wipers.
The moisture sensor is located next to the inside
rearview mirror and is mounted on the windshield.
To turn on the Rainsense™ feature, the wipers must be
set to one of the ve delay settings on the multifunction
lever. Each of the ve settings adjusts the sensitivity
of the rainsensor. For more wipes, select the higher
settings; for fewer wipes, select the lower settings
located closer to off on the multifunction lever.
The rainsensor will automatically control the frequency
of the wipes from off to high speed according to the
weather conditions. The wipers can be left in a
rainsense mode even when it is not raining.
Notice:If you do not turn off the windshield wipers
when driving through an automatic car wash, you
could damage the wipers. Always turn off the
windshield wipers before entering an automatic
car wash.
