Acura 2011 TL - Manual (Page 148)

If the front wheels are turned, the
anti-theft lock may make it difficult
to turn the key. Firmly turn the
steering wheel to the left or right as
you turn the key.
You can
operate the audio system and the
accessory power sockets in this
position.
This is the normal key
position when driving. Several of the
indicators on the instrument panel
come on as a test when you turn the
ignition switch from the
ACCESSORY (I) to the ON (II)
position.
You will hear a reminder beeper if
you leave the key in the ignition
switch in the LOCK (0) or the
ACCESSORY (I) position and open
the driver’s door. Remove the key to
turn off the beeper.
Use this position
only to start the engine. The switch
returns to the ON (II) position when
you let go of the key.
The ignition switch has four
positions: LOCK (0), ACCESSORY
(I), ON (II), and START (III).
You will also see a ‘‘REMOVE KEY’’
message on the multi-information
display.
The shift lever must be in Park
before you can remove the key from
the ignition switch.
You can insert or
remove the key only in this position.
To turn the key, you must push the
key in slightly. The shift lever must
also be in Park.
