NOTICE:

your key seems stuck in

so,
is it all the way in?
If
it is, then turn the

could
break the key
or
the
ignition switch.
If
none of this works, then your
vehicle needs service.
In case you cannot remove

which is located underneath the
steering column below the lock cylinder.
To use this slot, remove the trim cap. Insert
a
key
or
screwdriver into the access slot and rotate the lock
cylinder.
You
will now be able to remove your key from
the ignition. Be sure to replace the trim cap after use.
