With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five positions.
ACCESSORY
(A):
This position lets you use things
like the radio and windshield wipers when the engine is
off.
To
use ACCESSORY, push in the key and turn it
toward
you.
Your steering wheel will stay locked.
LOCK
(B):
Before
you
put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in
LOCK.
It
is
also
the only
position
in
which
you
can remove
the
key. This locks
your steering wheel, ignition and transaxle (on
automatic transaxle models).
OFF
(C):
This position unlocks the steering wheel and
ignition, but does not send electrical power to any
accessories. Use this position if your vehicle must be
pushed or towed, but never try
to
push-start your
vehicle. A warning chime will sound if you open the
driver’s door when
the
ignition
is
off
and the key
is
in
the ignition.
RUN
(D):
This position is where the key returns after
you
start your engine and release the switch.
The
switch
stays in the RUN position when the engine is running.
But 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.
