NOTE When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the sound of the fuel pump motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an abnormality.
START The engine is started in this position. It will crank until you release the start knob; then it returns to the ON position. The brake warning light can be checked after the engine is started (page 5-37).
Starting the engine
NOTE l Engine-starting is controlled by the spark
ignition system. This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise.
l The advanced key must be carried because
the advanced key carries an immobilizer chip that must communicate with the engine controls at short range.
l When starting the engine, be sure the start knob is securely attached before trying to operate it. If the knob becomes detached from the ignition switch, re-attach it by pushing it on to the ignition switch.
WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat, always put the key or start knob to LOCK position, set the parking brake and make sure the shift lever is in P:
Intentionally placing the key or start knob into LOCK position is much more important where you will not be removing the key to leave the vehicle and because leaving it in other positions will disable some of the vehicle security systems and run the battery down. Leaving the driver's seat without putting the ignition switch in LOCK position, setting the parking brake and the shift lever is in P is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle movement could occur. This could cause an accident.
NOTE l If turning the ignition switch is difficult,
jiggle the steering wheel from side to side. l The ignition switch cannot be turned from
the ACC position to the LOCK position when the shift lever is not in P.
ACC (Accessory) The steering wheel unlocks and some electrical accessories will operate.
NOTE The Advanced Keyless Entry System does not function in the ACC position, and the doors will not lock/unlock using the transmitter or request switches even if the advanced key is carried away from the vehicle.
ON This is the normal running position after the engine is started. The warning lights (except brakes) should be inspected before the engine is started (page 5-37).

WARNING
Be sure to watch the power liftgate as it opens or closes, and make sure that it closes completely:
Opening or closing the power liftgate while not watching it move is dangerous. Because of unseen obstacles and the jam-safe feature, a liftgate may not close completely and, if left unnoticed, could result in serious injury or death if an occupant were to fall out of the vehicle. Always be sure that the area around the liftgate is clear before activating it.
Always confirm the safety of the area around the power liftgate before operating it electrically.
Not checking the area around the liftgate for people before operating it using the power liftgate switch or the button on the keyless entry system is dangerous. A person could become caught between the liftgate and an obstruction while it is opening electrically or between the liftgate and vehicle while it is closing electrically, resulting in an accident and serious injury.
Always be sure the power liftgate completely closes before shifting into gear and driving the vehicle:
Shifting out of Park (P) while the liftgate is moving is dangerous. The liftgate will not close completely and this could result in serious injury or death if an occupant were to fall out of the vehicle. Occupants in the vehicle will also not have full protection in a collision.
