Ignition Positions LOCK (B): Before you put the key into the ignition switch, the switch is in LOCK. It's also the only position from which you can remove your key. This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It's a theft-deterrent feature. OFF (C): This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering wheel. It doesn't lock the steering wheel. Use OFF if you must have your vehicle pushed or towed. RUN (D): This position is where the key returns after you start your vehicle. With the engine off, you can use RUN to display some of your warning and indicator lights. With the ignition key in the ignition, you can turn the switch to five positions: ACCESSORY (A): The accessory position lets you use the radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off. To use ACC, push in the key and turn it toward you. Your steering wheel will stay locked. 2-18
