Ignition Positions

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

Notice: If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you cannot 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. Turn the key only with your hand. Using a tool to force it could break the key or the ignition switch. If none of these work, then your vehicle needs service.

(A)LOCK: This is the only position from which you can remove the key. This locks your steering wheel, ignition and automatic transaxle. Push in the ignition switch as you turn the key toward you.

If you have an automatic transaxle, the ignition switch cannot be turned to LOCK unless the shift lever is

in PARK (P).

{CAUTION:

On manual transaxle vehicles, turning the key to LOCK and removing it will lock the steering column and result in a loss of ability to steer the vehicle. This could cause a collision. If you need to turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving, turn the key only to ACC. Do not push the key in while the vehicle is moving.

(B)ACC (ACCESSORY): This position operates some of your electrical accessories, such as the radio, but not the ventilation fan. It unlocks the steering wheel and ignition. To move the key from ACC to LOCK, push

in the key and then turn it to LOCK.
