leave the ignition in the ACC/

This position starts the
engine. The brake pedal must be
applied to start the engine.
Ignition Positions (Key
Access)
The ignition switch has four different
positions.
Caution
Using a tool to force the key to
turn in the ignition could cause
damage to the switch or break the
key. Use the correct key, make
sure it is all the way in, and turn it
only with your hand. If the key
cannot be turned by hand, see
your dealer.
The key must be fully extended to
start the vehicle.

.
This is the only position from which
you can remove the key. This locks
the steering wheel, ignition, and
automatic transmission. Push in the
ignition switch as you turn the key
toward you.
The ignition switch can bind in the
LOCK/OFF position with your
wheels turned off center. If this
happens, move the steering wheel
from right to left while turning the
key to ACC/ACCESSORY. If this
doesn't work, then the vehicle needs
service.
Do not turn the engine off when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause a
loss of power assist in the brake
and steering systems and disable
the airbags.
If the vehicle must be shut off in an
emergency:
1. Brake using a firm and steady
pressure. Do not pump the
brakes repeatedly. This may
deplete power assist, requiring
increased brake pedal force.
2. Shift the vehicle to neutral. This
can be done while the vehicle
is moving. After shifting to
neutral, firmly apply the brakes
and steer the vehicle to a safe
location.
