Ignition Positions

With the ignition key in the ignition, you can turn the
switch to five positions:

ACCESSORY (A): The accessory position lets you use
the radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off.
To use ACC, push in the key and turn it toward you.
Your steering wheel will stay locked.

LOCK (B): Before you put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in LOCK. It’s also the only position
from which you can remove your key. This position
locks your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It’s a
theft

deterrent feature.

OFF (C): This position lets you turn off the engine but
still turn the steering wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering
wheel. Use OFF if you must have your vehicle pushed
or towed.

RUN (D): This position is where the key returns 
after you start your vehicle. With the engine off, you 
can use RUN to display some of your warning and
indicator lights.

START (E): This position starts your engine.

A warning chime will sound if you open the driver’s
door when the ignition is in OFF, LOCK or
ACCESSORY and the key is in the ignition.

NOTICE:

If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; 
if so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the
key hard. But 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.
