Ignition Positions
With the key in the
ignition switch, you can
turn the key 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 all the way in.
If it is, turn the steering wheel left and right while
you turn the key hard. If none of this works,
then your vehicle needs service.
LOCK: This position locks your steering wheel, ignition,
shift lever and transaxle. This is the only position in
which you can insert or remove the key. For easier
key operation when unlocking the steering wheel,
move the steering wheel from right to left and turn
the key to ACC.
ACC (ACCESSORY): This position operates some of
your electrical accessories, such as the radio, but
not the ventilation fan.
ON: This is the position to which the switch returns
after you start your engine and release the key.
The switch stays in ON when the engine is running.
But even when the engine is not running, you can
use ON to operate your electrical accessories, and to
display some instrument panel warning lights.
START: This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The switch will return
to ON for normal driving. Do not turn the key to
START if the engine is running.
Even if the engine is not running, ACC and ON allow
you to operate electrical accessories, such as the radio.
