Ignition Positions
With the key in the ignition
switch, you can turn the
switch to four positions.
OFF: This is the only position from which you can
remove the key.
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.
ACC (Accessory): This is the position in which you
can operate your electrical accessories. With the key in
this position, the ignition and automatic transaxle will
unlock. Use this position if your vehicle must be pushed
or towed.
RUN: This is the position for driving to which the switch
returns after you start the engine and release the
switch. The switch stays in RUN when the engine is
running. But even when the engine is not running, you
can use RUN to operate your electrical accessories
and to display some instrument panel cluster messages
and warning lights.
START: This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch will
return to RUN for normal driving.
