With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn

the switch to four positions.

OFF (A): Before you put the key into the ignition

switch, the switch is off. It is the only position from

which you can remove the key. This position locks your

ignition and transaxle. A warning chime will sound if

you open the driver’s door when the ignition is off and

the key is in the ignition.

ACC (Accessory) (B): This position unlocks the

transaxle. It also lets you use things like the radio and

windshield wipers when the engine is not running. To

use ACC, push in the key and turn it clockwise.

Use this position if your vehicle must be pushed or

towed, but never try to push-start your vehicle.

ON (C): This position unlocks the ignition and

transaxle. This position is also where the key returns

after you start your engine and release the switch. The

switch stays in ON when the engine is running. But even

when the engine is not running, you can use ON to

operate your electrical power accessories, and to display

some instrument panel warning lights.

START (D): This position starts the engine. When the

engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch will

return to ON for normal driving.

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.
