ACC
(B):
In this position, you can operate some of
your electrical power accessories (such as the radio, but
not the ventilation fan). It unlocks the steering wheel
and ignition.
ON (C):
The switch returns to this position after you
start your engine and release the switch. The switch
stays in the ON position when the engine is running. But
even when the ignition is not running, you can use
ON
to operate your electrical power accessories (including
the ventilation fan) and to display some warning and
indicator lights.
START (D): This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch will
return to ON for normal driving.
When the engine is not running, ACC and ON allow you
to operate some of your electrical accessories.
A warning tone will sound if you open the driver's door
when the ignition is in ACC or LOCK and the key is in
the ignition.

A
CAUTION:
On manual transaxle vehicles, turning the key to
LOCK
will lock the steering column and result in
a
loss of ability
to
steer the vehicle. This could
cause a collision. If you need to turn the engine
off while the vehicle is moving, turn the key only
to ACC. Don't push the key in while the vehicle
is moving.
NOTICE:
If
your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can't
turn it, be sure it is
all
the way in. If it is, then
turn the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break
the key or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
