Ignition Positions
With the ignition key in the ignition, the key can be
turned to four different positions:
Notice: Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break the
key. Use the correct key and turn the key only with
your hand. Make sure the key is in all the way. If
none of this works, then your vehicle needs service.
A (OFF): This is the only position in which the ignition
key can be inserted or removed. This position locks
the ignition and transaxle. It is a theft-deterrent feature.
B (ACCESSORY): This position lets the radio and
windshield wipers operate while the engine is off.
To use ACCESSORY, turn the key clockwise.
C (RUN): This position is where the key returns to
after the vehicle is started. This position displays
some of the warning and indicator lights.
D (START): This position starts the engine.
A warning chime will sound and the Driver Information
Center (DIC) will display DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR
when the driver's door is opened if the ignition is in
OFF, ACCESSORY and the key is in the ignition.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57 for
more information.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
If the vehicle has Retained Accessory Power (RAP),
certain features will continue to operate for up to
10 minutes after the ignition key is turned to OFF
unless a door is opened.
