With the key in the ignition switch, you can turn it to five different positions. The ignition switch is located on the right side of the steering column.

A (ACCESSORY): This position lets you use things like the radio and windshield wipers while the engine is off. To use accessory, push in the key and turn it toward you. The steering wheel will stay locked.

Notice: If your key seems stuck in LOCK/OFF and you cannot turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if so, is it all the way in? 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 works, then your vehicle needs service.

B (LOCK): This position locks the ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It's a theft-deterrent feature. It's also the only position from which you can remove the key.

C (OFF): This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock the steering wheel like LOCK. Use OFF if you must have the vehicle pushed or towed.

D (RUN): This position is where the key returns to after you start the vehicle. With the engine off, you can use RUN to display some of the warning and indicator lights.

E (START): This position starts the engine.

A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's door while the ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY and the key is in the ignition.
