Ignition Switch
I n 1 With the key in the
ignition switch, you
can turn the switch to
four positions:
I I
LOCK (A): The only position in which you can remove
the key. This locks your steering wheel, ignition and
automatic transmission. Press in the ignition switch as
you turn the top
of it toward you.
If you have an automatic transmission, the ignition
switch can't be turned
to LOCK unless the shift lever is
in the
PARK (P) position.
ACC (B): The position that you can operate your
electrical power accessories.
It unlocks the steering
wheel and ignition. Use this position if
your vehicle
must be pushed
or towed.
ON (C): The position that the switch returns to after you
start your engine and release the switch. The switch
stays in the
ON position when the engine is running. But
even when the engine is not running, you can use
ON to
operate your electrical power accessories and to display
some instrument panel warning and indicator lights.
START (D): The position that starts the engine. When
the engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch
will return to
ON for normal driving.
When the engine is not running,
ACC and ON allow you
to operate your electrical accessories, such as the radio
and ventilation fan.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's
door when the ignition is in
ACC or LOCK and the key
is in the ignition.

Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to
ON or START, a light will
come
on for about eight
seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts.
Unless the driver’s safety
belt
is already buckled, a
chime will also sound.
Charging System Light
This red light will come on
briefly when you turn on the
ignition, but the engine is
not running, as
a check to
show you it is working.
Then it should
go out when
the engine starts.
If the light stays on or comes on while you are driving,
you may have a problem with the electrical charging
system. It could indicate that you have
a loose generator
drive belt or another electrical problem. Have
it checked
right away. Driving while this light is
on could drain
your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with this light on, be
certain to turn
off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
