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.
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. Use
ACCESSORY
if
you must have your vehicle in motion
while the engine is
off
(for example,
if
your vehicle
is
being
p~shed or towed).
C
(ON): This is the position that the switch returns to
after you start your engine and release the key.
The switch stays in
ON
when the engine is running. But
even when the engine is not running, you can use
ON
to operate your electrical power accessories, and to
display some instrument panel warning lights.
D
(START): This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch
will return to
ON
for normal driving.
If
the engine
is
not running, ACCESSORY and ON are
positions that allow you to operate your electrical
accessories, such as the radio.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
With RAP, the power windows, the audio system, the
sunroof and the Automatic Level Control
will
continue to
work up to
10
minutes after the ignition key is turned
to
OFF
and none of the
doors
are opened.
