Ignition switch

XS17001a
"START"—Starter motor on. The key
will return to the "ON" position when
released.
For starting tips, see page 468 in Section
3.
"ON"—Engine on and all accessories
on.
This is the normal driving position.
"ACC"—Accessories such as the radio
operate, but the engine is off.
If you leave the key in the "ACC" or
"LOCK" position and open the driver's
door, a buzzer will remind you to remove
the key.

"LOCK"—Engine is off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
You must push in the key to turn the key
from "ACC" to the "LOCK" position. The
selector lever must be put in the "P" posi-
tion before pushing the key.
Vehicles with engine immobilizer system—
Once you remove the key, the engine im-
mobilizer system is automatically set. (See
"Engine immobilizer system" on page 21
in Section 1−2.)
When starting the engine, the key may
seem stuck at the "LOCK" position. To
free it, first be sure the key is pushed all
the way in, and then rock the steering
wheel slightly while turning the key gently.
Approximately five hours after the engine
is turned off, you may hear sound coming
from underneath the deck for several min-
utes. This is normal operation and does
not indicate a malfunction. (See "Leak
detection pump" on page ix.)
It is not a malfunction if the needles on
all meters and gauges move slightly when
the ignition switch is turned to the "ACC",
"ON" or "START" position.

NOTICE
Do not leave the key in the "ON"
position if the engine is not running.
The battery will discharge and the
ignition could be damaged.
