9 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 RAP, if all doors are closed.
The ignition mode will change to OFF, if a front door is
opened. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 2-25 for more information. If the shifter is not in
PARK (P), the ignition mode will change to ACC.
See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-36.
When the engine is off, press this button to place the
vehicle in accessory mode. ACCESSORY ACTIVE
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 3-79 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.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The following accessories on your vehicle may be used
for up to 20 minutes after the engine is turned off:
• Radio
• Power Windows
• Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Power to these accessories stops after 20 minutes or if
one of the front doors is opened. If you want power
for another 20 minutes, close all the doors and press the
OFF/ACCESSORY button to place the vehicle in
accessory mode. Press the button again and the vehicle
will return to RAP.
Starting the Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine will not start in any other position — that is
a safety feature. To restart when you are already
moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only.
The keyless access transmitter must be in the vehicle
for the ignition to work.
