switch cannot be turned to LOCK/OFF unless the shift

lever is in PARK (P).

If the steering wheel is locked, move it from right to left

and turn the key to ACC/ACCESSORY. If none of this

works, then your vehicle needs service.

(B) ACC/ACCESSORY: This is the position in which

you can operate your electrical accessories or items

plugged into the accessory power outlets. On automatic

transmission vehicles, this position unlocks the ignition.

On manual transmission vehicles, it unlocks the ignition

and steering wheel. Use this position if your vehicle must

be pushed or towed.

The switch stays in ON when the engine is running.

But even when the engine is not running, you can use

ON/RUN to operate the electrical accessories and

to display some instrument panel cluster warning and

indicator lights. The transmission is also unlocked in

this position on automatic transmission vehicles.

The battery could be drained if you leave the key in the

ACC/ACCESORY or ON/RUN position with the engine

off. You may not be able to start your vehicle if the battery

is allowed to drain for an extended period of time.

START (D): This is the position that starts the engine.

When the engine starts, release the key. The ignition

switch returns to ON/RUN for driving.

When the engine is not running, ACC/ACCESSORY

and ON/RUN allows you to operate the electrical

accessories, such as the radio or items plugged into

the accessory power outlets.

A warning tone will sound if you open the driver’s door

when the ignition is in ACC/ACCESSORY or

LOCK/OFF and the key is in the ignition.

Key In the Ignition

Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it is an

easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you leave the key in

the ignition and park your vehicle, a chime will sound,

when you open the driver’s door. Always remember to

remove your key from the ignition and take it with you.

This will lock your ignition and transmission. Also, always

remember to lock the doors.

The battery could be drained if you leave the key in the

ignition while your vehicle is parked. You may not be

able to start your vehicle after it has been parked for an

extended period of time.
