Ignition Positions With the key in the ignition switch, you can turn it to four different positions. If the steering wheel is locked, move it from right to left and turn the key to ACC/ACCESSORY. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs service. If you have an automatic transmission, the ignition switch cannot be turned to LOCK/OFF unless the shift lever is in PARK (P). If you have a manual transmission, the ignition switch can be turned to LOCK/OFF in any shift lever position. {CAUTION: If you have a manual transmission removing the key from the ignition switch will lock the steering column and result in a loss of ability to steer the vehicle. This could cause a collision. If you need to turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving, turn the key to ACC/ACCESSORY. ACC (ACC/ACCESSORY): This position operates some of your electrical accessories. It unlocks the steering wheel and ignition. In order to shift out of PARK (P), automatic transmission, the ignition must be in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY and the regular brake pedal must be applied. Notice: Using a tool to force the key from the ignition switch could cause damage or break the key. Use the correct key and turn the key only with your hand. Make sure the key is all the way in. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs service. 9 (LOCK/OFF): This position locks your steering column. It is a theft-deterrent feature. You will only be able to remove your key when the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF. 2-21
