Ignition Positions
With the key in the ignition,
you can turn the switch to
four different positions.
OFF: This is the only position from which you can
remove the key. This position locks your ignition and
transaxle. It’s a theft
-
deterrent feature.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in OFF and you can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break
the key or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
ACC (Accessory): In this position you can operate your
electrical power accessories such as power windows,
sunroof (option), audio system and windshield wipers.
ON: This is the position the switch returns to after you
start your engine and release the switch. Even when the
engine is not running, you can use ON to operate your
electrical power accessories and to display some
instrument panel cluster warning lights. This is the
position for driving your vehicle.
