Ignition Positions
(Keyless Access)
You can turn the ignition control
knob to four different positions.
To shift out of P (Park), ignition must
be in the ON/RUN or ACC/
ACCESSORY and the regular brake
pedal must be applied.
Using a tool to force the ignition
control knob from its cylinder could
damage it.
Make sure the keyless access
transmitter is inside the vehicle
when trying to turn the ignition
control knob.
A (LOCK/OFF): The ignition control
knob cannot be removed from the
vehicle. The keyless access
transmitter must be inside the
vehicle to start the engine. This
position locks the ignition and shifter
on automatic transmission vehicles,
and the ignition and steering wheel
on manual transmission vehicles.
B (ACC/ACCESSORY): This
position allows you to use things
like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine is off. This
position will allow you to turn off the
engine.
C (ON/RUN): This position is for
driving. It is the position the ignition
switch returns to after the engine
starts, and the control knob is
released.
If you need to shift the transmission
out of P (Park), the ignition control
knob has to be in ACC/
ACCESSORY or ON/RUN.
The battery could be drained
if you leave the key in the ACC/
ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position
with the engine off. You may not be
able to start your vehicle if the
battery is allowed to drain for an
extended period of time.
D (START): This position starts the
engine.
