Ignition Positions
With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to four different positions.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in OFF and you can't
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? 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.
OFF: This is the only
position in which you can
remove the key. This
position locks your ignition
and transaxle. It's a
-
theft
deterrent feature.
