(B) LOCK: This is the only position in which you

can remove the key. This position locks your ignition,

steering wheel and transaxle. It’s a theft-deterrent feature.

NOTICE:

If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t

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 this works, then

your vehicle needs service.

still turn the steering wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering

wheel like LOCK and it doesn’t send any electrical

power to the accessories. The instrument panel cluster

will remain powered in LOCK to illuminate the gear

shift indicator. The cluster will also activate the parking

brake light when the parking brake is set. Use UNLOCK

if you must have your vehicle in motion while the

engine is not running.

(D) RUN: This is the position the switch returns to after

you start your engine and release the switch. This is also

the position for normal driving. Even when the engine is

not running, you can use RUN to operate your power

accessories and to display some instrument panel

warning lights.

(E) START: This position starts your engine. When

the engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch

will return to RUN for normal driving.

Key Reminder Warning

If you leave your key in OFF, you will hear a warning

chime when you open the driver’s door.

Always leave your key in LOCK. If you leave it in any

other position, you will drain your battery power.

Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

After you turn the ignition off and remove the key,

you will still have power to such accessories as the

power windows, audio steering wheel controls

(if equipped), clock, sunroof (option) and the radio

for up to 10 minutes. The instrument panel cluster

lights will stay on for a few seconds, then will go out.

Once you open a door, the power will shut off.
