example, if your vehicle is being towed).

vehicles unless the

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 for up to 20minutes
after the ignition key is turned to OFF.
Your radio, power windows, sunroof, and overhead
console will work when the ignition key is in RUN
or ACCESSORY. Once the key is turned from RUN to
OFF, these features will continue to work for up to
20minutes or until a door is opened.
Starting Your Engine

Automatic Transmission

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.
Notice: Do not try to shift to PARK (P) if your
vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
