Ignition Switch
With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five positions:
ACC (A):
This position lets you use things like the
radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off. To
use ACC, push in the key and
t u r n
it toward you. Your
steering wheel will stay locked.
LOCK
(B):
Before you put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in LOCK. It's also the only position
in which you can remove your 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. Use OFF if you must have your
vehicle pushed or towed.
RUN
0):
This position is where the key returns after
you start your vehicle. With the engine off, you can use
RUN to display some of your warning and indicator
lights.
START
(E):
This position starts your engine.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's
door when the ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACC and
the key is in the ignition.
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.
