Gurpreet,

It sounds to me as if you guys are using AccessKey and coding around it.

Before answering your question, the proper way for a carousel would be to have a pause and play button. You cannot expect your users to know that a space key would stop the carousel. However, if you provide a pause button then it is clear to keyboard and mouse users.

By expecting your users to anticipate what key to press, you are not in conformance of WCAG. The user is not told how to operate this carousel.
