D (RUN): This position is where the key returns to after
you start the vehicle. With the engine off, you can use
run to display some of the warning and indicator lights.
E (START): This position starts the engine.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's
door when the ignition is in OFF, LOCK or
ACCESSORY and the key is in the ignition.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
With Retained Accessory Power, (RAP), the power
windows, audio system and sunroof will continue to
work up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned to
off and none of the doors are opened.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won't start in any other position
-- that's a
safety feature. To restart when you're already moving,
use NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don't try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle is
moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
Shift Lock Release
This vehicle is equipped with an electric shift lock
release system. The shift lock release is designed to
do the following:

Prevent ignition key removal unless the shift
lever is in PARK (P) (with the shift lever button
fully released).

Prevent movement of the shift lever out of PARK (P)
unless the ignition is in a position other than OFF or
LOCK. The shift lock release is always functional
except in the case of a dead or low voltage
(less than 9 V) battery.
If your vehicle has a dead battery or a battery with low
voltage, there is an override access slot that will allow
you to override the shift lock release.

2-59 Delayed Exit Lighting
For exiting the vehicle at night, the vehicle is equipped
with the delayed exit lighting feature. The interior lamps
will illuminate for up to 25 seconds when you remove
the key from the ignition. After 25 seconds have
elapsed, the interior lamps will slowly fade out. The
lamps will fade out before the 25 seconds have elapsed
if you do any of the following:

Insert the key and turn the ignition to RUN
or ACCESSORY.

Lock all doors using the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).

Lock the doors using the power door lock switch.
When any door is opened, delayed exit lighting is
canceled. The interior lamps will stay on while any door
is opened and will slowly fade out when all the doors
are closed. The interior lamps may stay on for up to
25 seconds after all the doors have been closed if they
have not been locked. See ªDelayed Illuminationº
earlier in this section.
To turn the delayed exit lighting feature off or on, see
ªLocks and Lighting Choicesº in the Index.
Overhead Console Reading Lamps (Option)
These lamps are part of the overhead console. They will
go on when you open the doors. When the doors are
closed, push the button next to each lamp to turn
them on and off. The console also contains an open
storage bin.
Front Reading Lamps (Option)
If the vehicle has the optional sunroof, you will have
reading lamps in front of the sunroof switch located on
the headliner. These lamps will come on when you open
the doors. The lamps can be turned on and off manually
by pressing the button behind each reading lamp when
the doors are closed.
Rear Assist Handle Reading
Lamps (Option)
There is a reading lamp provided in each rear assist
handle. Use the button next to each lamp to turn it on
and off.

2-73
Power Sunroof (Option)

open to the vent position only. You will need to open the
sunshade by hand.
