ACC (Accessory)
The steering wheel unlocks and some
electrical accessories will operate.

The Advanced Keyless Entry System
does not function in the ACC position,
and the doors will not lock/unlock even
if they have been locked manually or
the advanced key is carried away from
the vehicle.
ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. The warning lights
(except brakes) should be inspected
before the engine is started (page 5-36).
NOTE
When the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, the sound of the fuel
pump motor operating near the fuel
tank can be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.
START
The engine is started in this position. It
will crank until you release the start knob;
then it returns to the ON position. The
brake warning light can be checked after
the engine is started (page 5-36).
Starting the Engine

Engine-starting is controlled by the
spark ignition system.
This system meets all Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment

impulse electrical field strength of

The advanced key must be carried
because the advanced key carries an
immobilizer chip that must
communicate with the engine
controls at short range.
l
When starting the engine, be sure the
start knob is securely attached before
trying to operate it. If the knob
becomes detached from the ignition
switch, re-attach it by pushing it on
to the ignition switch.
