Ignition switch position

LOCK

The steering wheel locks to protect
against theft. The ignition key can be
removed only in the LOCK position.
When turning the ignition switch to
the LOCK position, push the key
inward at the ACC position and turn
the key toward the LOCK position.

ACC (Accessory)

The steering wheel is unlocked and
electrical accessories are operative.

ON

The warning lights can be checked
before the engine is started. This is
the normal running position after the
engine is started.
Do not leave the ignition switch ON if
the engine is not running to prevent
battery discharge.

START

Turn the ignition key to the START
position to start the engine. The
engine will crank until you release
the key; then it returns to the ON
position. The brake warning lamp
can be checked in this position.
If difficulty is experienced in turning
the ignition key to the START posi-
tion, turn the steering wheel right
and left to release the tension and
then turn the key.
