Ignition Positions
A
hB
Your ignition switch is located on the instrument panel.
With the ignition key
in
the switch, you can turn the
switch to four positions:
OFF
(A):
Before you put the key into the ignition switch,
the
switch is in
OFF.
It’s also the only position
from
which
you can remove your
key.
This position locks your
ignition and transaxle. It’s a theft-deterrent feature.
ACC
(B):
This position lets you use things like the
radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off.
Your steering wheel will unlock. Use
ACC
if you must
have your vehicle pushed
or
towed. This
position
lets
you turn off the ignition.
ON
(C):
This position
is
where the key returns after you
start the vehicle. With the engine
off,
you can use
ON
to
display some of your warning and indicator lights.
START
(D):
This
position starts your engine.
A
warning chime will sound if you open the driver’s
door
when the ignition is in
OFF,
ACC
or
ON and the
key is in the ignition.
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.
