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.

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.

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. The instrument panel cluster
will remain powered in LOCK to illuminate the gear
shift indicator. The cluster will also activate the parking
brake light when the parking brake is set. Use UNLOCK
if you must have your vehicle in motion while the
engine is not running.

RUN (D): This is the position the switch returns to after
you start your engine and release the switch. This is also
the position for normal driving. Even when the engine is
not running, you can use RUN to operate your electrical
power accessories and to display some instrument panel
warning lights.

START (E): This position starts your engine. When 
the engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch
will return to RUN for normal driving.

Key Reminder Warning

If you leave your key in OFF, you will hear a warning
chime when you open the driver’s door.

Always leave your key in LOCK. If you leave it in any
other position, you will drain your battery power.

Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

After you turn the ignition off and remove the key, 
you will still have electrical power to such accessories
as the power windows, audio steering wheel controls 
(if equipped), clock, sunroof (option) and the radio 
for up to 10 minutes. The instrument panel cluster 
lights will stay on for a few seconds, then will go out. 
Once you open a door, the power will shut off.
