Front Air Dam
Your vehicle is equipped with a front air dam which has
minimal ground clearance.
Under normal operation, the air dam will occasionally
contact some road surfaces (speed bumps, driveway
ramps, etc.). This can be heard inside the vehicle as a
scraping noise. This is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
Use care when approaching bumps or objects on road
surfaces and avoid them when possible.
Ignition Positions
Your vehicle has an
electronic keyless ignition
with pushbutton start.
/(START): Press this button while your foot is on the
brake for an automatic transmission, or while pressing
in the clutch for a manual transmission, to start the
engine. The keyless access transmitter must be in the
vehicle for the ignition to work.
9ACC (OFF/ACCESSORY): When the engine is on
or in accessory mode, press this button to turn the
engine off and place the vehicle in RAP. See “Retained
Accessory Power (RAP)” later for more information.
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 pushed or towed.
After being in accessory mode for about 20 minutes, the
vehicle will automatically enter RAP or OFF, depending
on if the doors are opened or closed.
