IGNITION KEY
CAUTION
When the vehicle is parked overnight or for an
extended period of time, the battery master switch
(ignition switch) should be set to the OFF position.
NOTE
When the battery master switch (ignition switch) is
set to the OFF position, all electrical supply from
the batteries is cut off, with the exception of
battery equalizer check module, ECM ignition and
power supply, Allison TCM or I-Shift transmission
ECU, auxiliary coolant heater timer, coolant heater
and water recirculating pump, power- verter, fire
alarm and entrance door.
The ignition switch doubles as the battery master
switch. Any position other than OFF activates the
electrical circuits.
The ignition switch is located on the lower left side of
the dashboard. It has four positions:

ACCESSORIES

To operate the accessories only, turn the ignition key
counterclockwise to the ACC position.
The electrical circuits are activated when the switch
is in this position. The features enabled when the
switch is in the ACC position are all those linked
directly to the battery such as the radio or
entertainment system, exterior and interior lighting.

OFF

In the OFF position, ignition cannot take place. The
key can be removed in this position.
The electrical circuits are not activated when the
switch is in this position with the exception of the
circuits of the accessories connected directly to the
batteries and the "wake-up" systems which remains
active for about 15 minutes after the ignition is set to
the OFF position. Maintain the switch in this position
when parked overnight or for an extended period.
ON
To place ignition switch to the ON position, turn the
key clockwise to the first position.
The electrical circuits activated are the same than
the ACC position, plus the transmission, engine and
accessories, ABS system, wipers, level low
system, dashboard cluster gauges and buzzers, air
horn and air dryer heater are activated when the key
is in this position. Do not leave the key in this
position unless the engine is running.

START

Turn the key clockwise to the second position and
release as soon as the engine starts. The key will
return to the ON position. If the engine did not start,
return the ignition key to the OFF position before
trying to restart the engine.
The ignition switch is equipped with a starter
protection which inhibits turning the key to the
START position if the key has not previously been
turned to the OFF position.
