The electrical circuits activated when the switch

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.
CAUTION
To avoid overheating the starter, do not
engage the starter for more than 15 seconds
at a time. Allow the starter to cool before trying
to restart the engine.
CAUTION
If the "starter on" indicator light remains
illuminated even after releasing the ignition
switch, stop the engine immediately and set
the battery master switch (ignition switch) to
the off position. Have the starter checked
immediately.
The features activated when the engine is
running are all those described above plus the
HVAC system and daytime running lights.
Do not use ether or other combustible
starting aid fluid on any engine equipped with
an intake air preheater. If the engine is
equipped with a preheater, introduction of
ether or similar starting aids could cause a fire
or explosion resulting in severe property
damage, serious personal injury or death.
