9 (OFF): This is the only position from which you can remove the key. For a vehicle with an automatic transaxle, the shift lever must be in PARK (P) with the ignition in OFF to remove the key. For a vehicle with a manual transaxle, the shift lever must be in REVERSE (R) to remove the key. A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's door while the ignition is off and the key is in the ignition. ACC (Accessory): This position unlocks the transaxle. It also lets you use things like the radio and windshield wipers while the engine is not running. To use ACC, turn the key clockwise to the first position. Use this position if your vehicle must be pushed or towed. See Recreational Vehicle Towing on page 294. Never try to push-start your vehicle, unless it has a manual transaxle. R (ON): This position is where the key returns to after you start the engine and release the key. The ignition switch will stay in this position while the engine is running. But even while the engine is not running, you can use ON to operate your electrical accessories and to display some instrument panel warning lights. Use the ON position for push-starting a vehicle with a manual transaxle. The battery could be drained if you leave the key in the ACC or ON position with the engine off. You may not be able to start your vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for an extended period of time. / (START): This position starts the engine. When the engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch will return to the ON position for normal driving. 123
