Ignition Positions - Buick 2007 Terraza Owner's Manual

Ignition Positions

The key can be turned to one of four positions
while in the ignition switch.
A (LOCK): This is the only position from which
you can remove the key. This position locks
your ignition and transaxle.
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 none of this works,
then your vehicle needs service.
B (ACCESSORY): This is the position in which
you can operate the electrical accessories, such as
the radio.
C (RUN): This is the position to which the switch
returns after the engine is started and the ignition
key is released. This is the position for driving. Even
while the engine is not running, RUN can be used to
operate your electrical accessories and to display
some instrument panel warning lights.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key in
the ACCESSORY 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.
D (START): This position starts the engine. When
the engine starts, release the ignition key. The
switch will return to RUN for driving.
