but never try to push-start your vehicle.

transaxle. This position is also where the key returns
after you
start your engine and release the switch. The

operate your electrical power accessories, and to display
some instrument panel warning lights.

With
the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn

switch, the switch is
off. It is the only position from
which you can remove the key. This position locks your

A warning chime will sound if
you open the driver’s door when the ignition is off and
the key is in the ignition.
