Ignition switch Instruments and controls 3-3 Instruments and controls Automatic transmission vehicles Manual transmission vehicles The ignition switch has four positions: LOCK, ACC, ON and START. The key can only be inserted or removed in this position. The ignition switch will lock the steering wheel when you remove the key. If turning the key is difficult, turn the steering wheel slightly to the right and left as you turn the key. 300564 300565 LOCK The key can be turned from “ACC” to “LOCK” only when the key is pushed in while turning it. Never turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” while the vehicle is being driven or towed because that will lock the steering wheel, preventing steering control. And when the engine is turned off, it takes a much greater effort than usual to steer. 300115 The key can be turned from “ACC” to “LOCK” only when the selector lever is in the “P” position. 300566 – CONTINUED –
