Ignition Positions
With the key in the
ignition switch, you can
turn it to four different
positions.
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 in all the way. If none of this works,
then your vehicle needs service.
9(OFF): This is the only position from which
you can remove the key. It also locks your ignition
and transaxle. A warning chime will sound if
you open the driver’s door while the ignition is off
and the key is left in the ignition.
ACC (ACCESSORY): This position lets you use
things like the radio and windshield wipers
while the engine is not running.
Use this position if your vehicle must be pushed or
towed, but never try to push-start your vehicle.
See Recreational Vehicle Towing on page 328.
R(ON): This position unlocks the ignition. It
is also the position to where the key returns after
you start the engine and release the switch.
The switch will stay in this position while the
engine is running. But even while the engine is
not running, you can use ON 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 ACC or On 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.
/(START): This position starts the engine.
When the engine starts, release the key.
The ignition switch will return to the ON
position for normal driving.
