Ignition Positions
The key can be turned to one of four positions
while in the ignition switch.
A (LOCK): This is the only position from which
you can remove the key. This position locks
your ignition and transaxle.
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 none of this works, then
your vehicle needs service.
B (ACCESSORY): This is the position in which
you can operate the electrical accessories, such as
the radio.
C (RUN): This is the position to which the switch
returns after the engine is started and the
ignition key is released. This is the position for
driving. Even while the engine is not running, RUN
can be used to operate your electrical accessories
and to display some instrument panel warning
lights.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ACCESSORY or 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. When
the engine starts, release the ignition key. The
switch will return to RUN for driving.
