Keys and Locks

Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is on the right
side of the steering column. It has
four positions:
LOCK (0)
ACCESSORY (I)
ON (II)
START (III)
Instruments and Controls
LOCK (0) — You can insert or
remove the key only in this
position. When you turn the key
from LOCK to ACCESSORY, you
may have to turn the steering
wheel to release the anti-theft
lock. To switch from ACCESSORY
to LOCK, you must push the key
in slightly as you turn it. If your
car has an automatic
transmission, it must also be in
Park. The anti-theft lock will lock
the steering column when you
remove the key.
Removing the key from the
ignition switch while driving locks
the steering. This can cause you
to lose control.
Remove the key from the
ignition switch only when
parked.
ACCESSORY (I) — In this position,
you can operate the audio system
and cigarette lighter.
ON (II) — This is the normal key
position when driving. All
features and accessories on the
car are usable. Several of the
lights on the instrument panel
come on as a test when you
turn the ignition switch from
ACCESSORY to ON (see
page 29).
START (III) — Use this position
only to start the engine. The
switch returns to ON when you
let go of the key.
You will hear a reminder beeper if
you open either front door with
the key in the LOCK or
ACCESSORY position. Remove the
key to turn it off.
