Ignition Positions

Use the key to turn the ignition switch to four
different positions.

A (LOCK): This position locks the ignition and
transmission. It is a theft-deterrent feature. You will
only be able to remove the key when the ignition
is turned to LOCK.

Notice: Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break
the key. Use the correct key and turn the key
only with your hand. Make sure the key is all the
way in. If it is, turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.

B (ACCESSORY): This position lets you use
things like the radio and the windshield wipers
when the engine is off.

Notice: Lengthy operation of features such as
the radio in the accessory ignition position and
the RUN position may drain the battery and
prevent your vehicle from starting. Do not
operate your vehicle in the accessory ignition
position for a long period of time.

C (RUN): This is the position for driving. It is the
position the switch returns to after the engine
starts, and you release the key.

D (START): This position starts the engine.
