Off
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the push button start
indicator lights (ACC and ON) also turn
off.
WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat, always
switch the ignition off, set the parking
brake, and make sure the shift lever is
in P (automatic transaxle) or in 1st gear
or R (manual transaxle):
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition off, setting the
parking brake, and shifting the shift
lever to P (automatic transaxle) or to
1st gear or R (manual transaxle) is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could
result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to
leave the vehicle for even a short
period, it is important to switch the
ignition off, as leaving it in another
position will disable some of the
vehicle's security systems and run the
battery down.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (ACC) illuminates.
In addition, for vehicles equipped with the
steering column lock function, the
steering wheel unlocks.

The advanced keyless entry system does not
function while the push button start has been
pressed to ACC, and the doors will not lock/
unlock even if they have been locked manually.
ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. The indicator light
(ON) turns off. (The indicator light (ON)
illuminates when the ignition is switched
ON and the engine is not running.)
The warning lights (except brakes) should
be inspected before the engine is started
(page 5-44).
