B (LOCK): This is the only position from which you can remove the key. This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. 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 noneof these works, then your vehicle needs service. D (RUN): This is the position to which the switch returns after you start your engine and release the ignition key. This is the position for driving. Even when the engine is not running, you can use RUN to operate yourelectrical accessories and to display some instrument panel warning lights. E (START): This position starts the engine. When the engine starts, release the ignition key. The switch will return to RUN for normal driving. If the engine is not running, ACCESSORY and RUN are positions that allow you to operate your electrical accessories, such as the radio. C (OFF): This position unlocks the ignition, steering wheel and transaxle but, does not send power to any accessories. Use this position if your vehicle must be pushed or towed, but never try to push-start your vehicle.
