Cadillac 2006 XLR - Manual (Page 73)

Ignition Positions
Your vehicle has an
electronic keyless ignition
with pushbutton start.
/
(START): Press this button while your foot is on the
brake to start the engine. The shifter must be in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) to start the engine and the
keyless access transmitter must be in the vehicle for
the ignition to work.
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 Retained Accessory Power (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 2-22 for more information.
If the shifter is not in PARK (P), the ignition mode will
change to ACC (Accessory). See Shifting Into Park (P)
on page 2-30.
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
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 3-67 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.
