Ignition
Understanding the Positions of the
Ignition
The positions of the key in the ignition
ACC allows some of your vehicle’s electrical
accessories such as the radio and the windshield
wipers to operate while the engine is not running.
NOTE: Your vehicle is also equipped with an
accessory timer. This allows some of your
accessories to remain on for up to 10 minutes after
the ignition is turned to the OFF position. The
accessory timer is cancelled if any door is opened,
the dimmer switch is used, or the ignition is turned
to the ON position.
The automatic transmission gearshift must be in P
(Park) to move the key to the LOCK position.
LOCK is the only position that allows you to
remove the key. The LOCK feature helps to protect
your vehicle from theft.
OFF allows you to shut off the engine.
