steering wheel and transaxle. It is a theft-deterrent
feature. This is the only position from which the
key can be removed.

There are four different
positions. Insert the key
in the ignition and
turn it to the right for
each position.
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 all the
way in. If it is, turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
ACC (ACCESSORY): This position allows things
like the radio and windshield wipers to operate
while the engine is off.
R
(RUN): This position is where the key returns to
after the vehicle is started. With the engine off,
the RUN position displays some of the warning
and indicator lights.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ACC or RUN position with the engine
off. You may not be able to start your vehicle if
the battery is allowed to drain for an extended
period of time.
