With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five positions:
ACCESSORY (A): 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.
LOCK (B): The only position in which you can remove
the key. This locks your steering wheel, ignition and
transaxle.
OFF (C): Unlocks the steering wheel, ignition and
transaxle, but does not send electrical power
to any
accessories. In the
OFF position, the instrument cluster
and the automatic transaxle gear shift indicator have
electrical power. 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.
RUN (D): An “on7’ position to which the switch returns
after
you start your engine and release the switch. The
switch stays
in the RUN position when the engine is
running. But
even when the engine is not running, you
can use
RUN to operate your electrical power
accessories,
and to display some instrument panel
warning lights.
START (E): Starts the engine. When the engine starts,
release the key. The ignition switch will return
to RUN
for normal driving.
Note that even if
the engine is not running, the positions
ACCESSORY and RUN are
“on” positions that allow
you
to operate your electrical accessories, such as the
radio.

new odometer installed.
If the new one can be set to the mileage total of the old
odometer, then it must be. But
if it can’t, then it’s set at
zero and
a label must be put on the driver’s door to show
the old mileage reading when the new odometer was
installed.
Trip Odometer (Option)
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since
you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To set
the trip odometer to zero, press the knob to the
right
of it.

The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may
occur.
Warning Lights, Gages and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be
on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before
it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention
to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come
on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As you
will
see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come
on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they’re working. If you are
familiar with this section,
you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one
of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
