Keys and Locks
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is on the right
side of the steering column. It has
four positions: LOCK (0), ACCES-
SORY (I), ON (II), and START (III).
LOCK (0)
— You can insert or
remove the key only in this position.
When you turn the key from LOCK
to ACCESSORY, you may have to
turn the steering wheel to release
the anti-theft lock. To switch from
ACCESSORY to LOCK, you must
push the key in slightly as you turn it.
If your car has an automatic trans-
mission, it must also be in Park. The
anti-theft lock will lock the steering
column when you remove the key.
ACCESSORY (I)
— In this position,
you can operate the audio system
and cigarette lighter.
ON (II)
— This is the normal key
position when driving. All features
and accessories on the car are usable.
Several of the lights on the instru-
ment panel come on as a test when
you turn the ignition switch from
ACCESSORY to ON (see page
35
).
START (III)
— Use this position
only to start the engine. The switch
returns to ON when you let go of the
key.
You will hear a reminder beeper if
you open the driver's door with the
key in the LOCK or ACCESSORY
position. Remove the key to turn it
off.
Instruments and Controls
Removing the key from the
ignition switch while driving
locks the steering. This can
cause you to lose control.

ignition switch only when
parked.
