The ignition switch, on the right side of the steering column, has
five positions: LOC

position. This locks the steering and prevents normal use of the
steering wheel.
The key can be removed only when the ignition is in this
position. On automatic transmission models, the ignition
switch cannot be turned to the
"LOCK" position unless the shift lever has first been placed in the
"P" position. The shift lever is
then locked.
ACC (Accessory) — In this

position, yo

u can use some
electrical accessories when the
engine is not running.
O N — The normal driving

position.

STAR T — This position starts the
engine. The switch returns to ON when you release the key.
