With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five positions:
(A)
Accessory:
An
ON
position in which you can
operate
your
electrical power accessories. Press in the
ignition switch as you turn the top of
it
toward you.
(B)
Lock:
The only position in which you can remove the
key.
This
locks your steering wheel, ignition and transaxle.
(C)
Off
Unlocks the steering wheel, ignition, and
transaxle, but does
not
send electrical power
to
any
accessories. Use this position if your vehicle must be
pushed or towed, but never try to push-start your
vehicle.
A
warning chime will sound
if
you open the
driver’s door when the ignition is
off
and the key is in
the ignition.
(D)
Run:
An
ON position to which the switch returns
after
you
start your engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in the
RUN
position when the engine is
running. But even when the engine is not running, you
can use
RUN
to operate your electrical power
accessories, and
to
display some instrument panel
warning lights.
(E)
Start:
Starts the engine. When the engine starts,
release the key. The ignition switch will return to
RUN
for normal driving.

NOTICE:
If
your key seems stuck in
LOCK
and
you
can’t
turn
it,
be sure it is all the way in.
If
it
is,
then
turn the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a
tool
to
force it could break
the key
or
the ignition switch.
If
none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
