Ignition Positions
Use the key to turn the ignition switch to four different
positions.
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 in all the way. If
none of this works, then your vehicle needs service.A (OFF):This is the only position in which you can
insert or remove the key. This position locks the ignition
and transmission. It is a theft-deterrent feature.
Notice:Lengthy operation of features such as the
radio in the accessory ignition position may
drain the battery and prevent your vehicle from
starting. Do not operate your vehicle in the
accessory ignition position for a long period
of time.
B (ACCESSORY):This position lets you use things like
the radio and the windshield wipers when the engine
is off.
C (RUN):This is the position for driving.
D (START):This position starts the engine.

until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by

(Windshield Wipers):To use the windshield
wipers, turn the band with the wiper symbol on it.
8(Mist):For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to
mist. Hold it there until the wipers start. Then let go.
The wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want
more wipes, hold the band on mist longer.

long or short delay between wipes. This can be
very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to one of
the dashed marks on the lever to choose the delay
time. The closer to the top of the lever, the shorter
the delay.

turn the band away from you to the rst solid band past
the delay settings.

band further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings.
9(Off):Turn the band to this symbol to turn of your
windshield wipers.

until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.

the windshield, press the paddle. The wipers will
clear the window and then either stop or return to your
preset speed.
