Ignition Positions

CAUTION:

Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition
key is dangerous for many reasons. A child or
others could be injured or even killed. They could
operate power windows or other controls or even
make the vehicle move. Don’t leave the keys in
the vehicle with children.

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

ACCESSORY (A): This position lets you use things
like the radio and the windshield wipers when the
engine is off. To use, push in the key and turn it toward
you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it
was before you inserted the key.

LOCK (B): This is the only position in which you can
remove the 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 like LOCK and it doesn’t send any electrical
power to the accessories. Use OFF if you must have
your vehicle in motion while the engine is not running.
