Acura 2005 RL - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 116)

The ignition switch has four
positions: LOCK (0), ACCESSORY
(I), ON (II), and START (III).
You can insert or
remove the built-in key only in this
position. To turn the ignition switch,
the shift lever must be in Park, and
you must push the knob or built-in
key in slightly.
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
operate the audio system and the
accessory power socket in this
position.
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 ACCESSORY (I) to ON (II).
Use this position
only to start the engine. The switch
returns to ON (II) when you let go of
the ignition switch.
You will hear a reminder beeper if
you do not turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0) or leave the built-in key in
the ignition switch in the LOCK (0)
or ACCESSORY (I) position and
open the driver’s door. Remove the
built-in key to turn off the beeper.
The shift lever must be in Park
before you turn the ignition switch
knob to LOCK (0) or remove the
built-in key from the ignition switch.
To use the built-in key, you have to
remove the cover (see page
). 138
