With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five different positions:
ACCESSORY (A): This is an on position in which you
can operate your electrical power accessories. Press
the
ignition kev in as you turn the top of it toward you.
LOCK (B): This is the only position in which
you can remove the key. This position locks your
ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It's a
theft-deterrent feature.
OFF (C):
This position lets you turn off the engine
but still turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock the
steering wheel like LOCK and it doesn't send any
electrical power to the accessories. Use OFF if you
must have your vehicle in motion while the engine is
not running.
RUN (D): This is an on position that the switch returns
to after you start your engine and release the switch.
This is the position for driving. Even when the engine
is not running, you can use RUN to operate your
electrical power accessories and to display some
instrument panel warning lights.
START (E): This position starts your engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch will
return to RUN for normal driving.
