Ignition Positions With the key in the ignition, you can turn the switch to five positions. LOCK (B): This is the only position in which you can remove the key. This locks your steering wheel, ignition 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. But turn the key only with your hand. Using a tool to force it could break the key or the ignition switch. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs service. OFF (C): This position unlocks the steering wheel, ignition and transaxle, but does not send electrical power to any accessories. Use this position if your vehicle must be pushed or towed, but never try to push-start your vehicle. A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's door when the ignition is off and the key is in the ignition. ACCESSORY (A): This is an on position in which you can operate your electrical power accessories. Press in the ignition switch as you turn the top of it toward you. 2-39
