Ignition Positions
With the key in the ignition, you can turn it to
four different positions.
A (OFF):This is the only position in which you can
remove the key. This position locks the ignition
and transaxle.
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 all the way in. If
none of this works, then your vehicle needs service.B (ACCESSORY):This position allows you to use
things like the radio and the windshield wipers while the
engine is off. This position will also allow you to turn
off the engine. Use ACCESSORY if you must have your
vehicle in motion while the engine is off, for example,
if your vehicle is being pushed or towed.
C (ON):This is the position that the switch returns
to after you start your engine and release the key.
The switch stays in ON 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 lights.
D (START):This position starts the engine. When
the engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch
will return to ON for normal driving.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

the sunroof and the automatic level control will continue
to work for up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is
turned to OFF or until one of the doors is opened.

Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex mirror’s
surface is curved so more can be seen from the driver’s
seat. It also makes things appear farther away than they
really are.

mirrors are heated when the rear window defogger is
turned on. See “Rear Window Defogger” underClimate
Control System on page 3-28,Dual Climate Control
