Ignition Switch
The combined ignition switch/anti-theft lock is located on the right
side of the steering column and has four positions:
0 - LOCK position:
The key can be removed or inserted in this
position. To remove the key, push it in at position I, then turn it to 0
and pull it out. When the key is removed, the steering column will
lock.
NOTE: On cars equipped with automatic transmissions, the
transmission must be in Park before pushing and turning the key to
the 0-LOCK position.
Never turn the ignition switch to the lock position or
remove the key while the car is in motion; the steering wheel can
lock causing a loss of directional control, and an accident could
result.
I - ACCESSORY position:
In this position, the accessory circuit is on,
but the ignition circuit is off. If the key is difficult to turn from the 0
to the I position, turn the steering wheel slightly to relieve pressure
on the lock.
I I - ON position:
This is the normal running position.
Canada Cars:
The "Daytime Running Lights" will come on in this
position. (see page
54
).
I I I - START position:
The starter will engage when the key is turned
to this position.
To remind you to remove the ignition key when leaving your car, a
beeper will sound if the key is still in the ignition when you open the
driver's door. The beeper system is deactivated when you turn the
ignition to 0 (Lock) and fully remove the key.
