The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK (0), ACCESSORY (I), ON (II),
and START (III).

LOCK (0)

- You can insert or remove

the key only in this position. To turn
the key, push it in slightly. If your
vehicle has an automatic transmission,
the shift lever must also be in Park.

If the front wheels are turned, the anti-
theft lock may make it difficult to turn
the key. Firmly turn the steering wheel
to the left or right as you turn the key.

ACCESSORY (I)

- You can operate

the audio system and the accessory
power socket in this position.

ON (II)

- This is the normal key

position when driving. Several of the
indicators on the instrument panel
come on as a test when you turn the
ignition switch from the
ACCESSORY (I) to the ON (II)
position.

START (III)

- Use this position

only to start the engine. The switch
returns to the ON (II) position when
you let go of the key.

You will hear a reminder beeper if
you leave the key in the LOCK (0) or
the ACCESSORY (I) position and
open the driver's door. Remove the
key to turn off the beeper.

If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, the shift lever must be
in Park before you can remove the
key from the ignition switch.

Removing the key from the
ignition switch while driving
locks the steering. This can
cause you to lose control of the
vehicle.

Remove the key from the
ignition switch only when
parked.
