Ignition Positions
With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five different positions.
ACCESSORY (A): This position lets you use your
electrical power accessories such as power windows,
power sunroof (if equipped), radio and the windshield
wipers. To use, push in the ignition key and turn it
toward you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just
as it was before you inserted the key.
OFF/LOCK (B): 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.
OFF/UNLOCK (C): This position lets you turn off the
engine but still turn the steering wheel. It doesn’t lock
the steering wheel like OFF/LOCK and it doesn’t send
any electrical power to the accessories. The instrument
panel cluster will remain powered in OFF/LOCK to
illuminate the gear shift indicator. The cluster will also
activate the parking brake light when the parking brake
is set. Use OFF/UNLOCK if you must have your vehicle
in motion while the engine is not running.
