Ignition Switch
With the ignition key in the ignition
switch, you can turn the switch to five
positions:
Accessory:
An "on" position in which
you can operate your radio and
windshield wipers. Press in the ignition
switch as you turn the top of it toward
you.
Lock: The only position
in which you car
remove the key. This locks your steering
wheel, ignition and transaxle.
52
Off:
Unlocks the steering wheel, ignition,
and transaxle, but does not send electrical
power to any accessories. Use this
position if your vehicle must be pushed or
towed, but never try to push-start your
vehicle. A warning chime will sound if
you open the driver's door when the
ignition is off and the key is in the
ignition.
Run: An "on" position to which the
switch returns after you start your engine
and release the switch. The switch stays
in the
Run
position when the engine is
running. But 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: Starts the engine. When the engine
starts, release the key. The ignition switch
will return to
Run
for normal driving.
Note that even if the engine is not
running, the positions Accessory and
Run
are "on" positions that allow you to
operate your electrical accessories, such
as
the radio.
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.
Starting Your Engine

to start
your
vehicle.
Move your shift lever to
" P '
(Park) or

any other position
