Acura 2006 RL - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 148)

The ignition switch has four
positions: LOCK (0), ACCESSORY
(I), ON (II), and START (III).
Use this position
only to start the engine. The switch
returns to the ON (II) position when
you let go of the ignition switch.
To use the built-in key, you have to
remove the cover (see page
).
This is the normal
ignition switch 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.
If the front wheels are turned, the
anti-theft lock may make it difficult
to turn the ignition switch. Firmly
turn the steering wheel to the left or
right as you turn the ignition switch.
You can insert or
remove the built-in key only in this
position. To turn the ignition switch
to the LOCK (0) position, the shift
lever must be in Park, and you must
push the knob or built-in key in
slightly.
The shift lever must be in Park
before you turn the ignition switch
knob to the LOCK (0) position or
remove the built-in key from the
ignition switch.
You can
operate the audio system and the
accessory power sockets in this
position.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ACCESSORY (I) position, an
‘‘ACCESSORY (I) POSITION’’
message is shown on the multi-
information display.
If you open the driver’s door and
leave the key in the ignition switch,
you will hear a reminder beeper, and
a message appears on the multi-
information display according to the
ignition switch position. When the
ignition switch is in the ACC (I)
position, a ‘‘RETURN IGNITION
SWITCH TO LOCK (I) POSITION’’
message is shown on the multi-
information display. When the
ignition switch is LOCK (I) position,
a ‘‘REMOVE KEY’’ message is
shown on the multi-information
display.
