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? If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the key
hard. Turn the key only with your hand. Using a
tool to force it could break the key or the ignition
switch.
If
none of these works, then your vehicle
needs service.
A
(OFF):
This is the only position in which you can
insert or remove the key. This position locks the ignition,
steering wheel and transaxle. It’s a theft-deterrent
feature.
B (ACCESSORY): This position allows you to use
things like the radio and the windshield wipers when the
engine is
off. This position will allow you to turn
off
the engine, but still turn the steering wheel.
If
your
vehicle has a column shifter, you will still be able to
move the shift lever. Use ACCESSORY
if
you must have
your vehicle in motion while the engine is
off
(for
example,
if
your vehicle is being pushed or towed).
C
(ON):
This position is for driving.
If
your vehicle has a
console shifter and you turn
off
the engine, the
transaxle will lock.
If
you need to shift the transaxle out
of PARK (P), the ignition key has to be in
ON.
D
(START): This position starts the engine.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The following accessories on your vehicle may be used
for up
to
10
minutes after the ignition key is turned
from
ON
to
OFF:
Cellular Telephone
Radio
Power Windows
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Sunroof
Power to these accessories stops after
10
minutes or
if
a door is opened. If
you
want power for another
10
minutes, close all the doors and turn the ignition key to
ON
and then back to
OFF.
If
the cellular phone is
being used while retained accessory power is active,
the timer is suspended to avoid interruption of the call.
The timer resets to
10
minutes at the end of the call.
