Following break

and load can be gradually
increased.

Ignition Positions (Key
Access)

The ignition switch has four different
positions.

Notice:

Using a tool to force the

key to turn in the ignition could
cause damage to the switch or

break the key. Use the correct
key, make sure it is all the way in,
and turn it only with your hand.
If the key cannot be turned by
hand, see your dealer.

The key must be fully extended to
start the vehicle.

To shift out of P (Park), turn the
ignition to ON/RUN and apply the
brake pedal.

A (STOPPING THE ENGINE/
LOCK/OFF):

When the vehicle is

stopped, turn the ignition switch to
LOCK/OFF to turn the engine off.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
will remain active. See

.

This is the only position from which
the key can be removed. This locks
the steering wheel, ignition, and
automatic transmission.

Do not turn the engine off when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause a
loss of power assist in the brake
and steering systems and disable
the airbags.

If the vehicle must be shut off in an
emergency:

1. Brake using a firm and steady

pressure. Do not pump the
brakes repeatedly. This may
deplete power assist, requiring
increased brake pedal force.

2. Shift the vehicle to Neutral. This

can be done while the vehicle is
moving. After shifting to Neutral,
continue to firmly apply the
brakes and steer the vehicle to a
safe location.

3. Come to a complete stop. Shift

to P (Park) with an automatic
transmission, or Neutral with a
manual transmission. Turn the
ignition to LOCK/OFF.
