Ignition Positions
Use the key to turn
the ignition switch to
four different positions.
The ignition switch
is located on the
center console.
In order to shift out of PARK (P), ignition must be
in the ON/RUN and the regular brake pedal must
be applied.
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
none of this works, then your vehicle needs service.
9 (LOCK/OFF): This position locks the ignition
and transmission. It is a theft-deterrent feature. You will
only be able to remove the key when the ignition is
turned to LOCK/OFF and the vehicle has power.
If the steering wheel is locked, move it from right to left
and turn the key to ACC/ACCESSORY. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
ACC (ACC/ACCESSORY): This position lets you use
things like the radio and the windshield wipers when the
engine is off.
Lengthy operation of features such as the radio in the
accessory ignition position may drain the battery and
prevent your vehicle from starting. Do not operate your
vehicle in the accessory ignition position for a long
period of time.
