outlet, as well as to display some
warning and indicator lights. This
position can also be used for
service and diagnostics, and to verify the proper operation of the
malfunction indicator lamp as may
be required for emission inspection
purposes. The transmission is also
unlocked in this position.
The battery could be drained if the
key is left in the ACC/ACCESSORY
or ON/RUN position with the engine

If the ignition becomes difficult to
turn, see Keys021.
Key Lock Release
The vehicle is equipped with an
electronic key lock release. The key
lock release is designed to prevent
ignition key removal unless the shift
lever is in P (Park). The key lock release is always
functional except in the case of an
uncharged or low voltage (less than
9-volt) battery. If the vehicle has an
uncharged battery or a battery with
low voltage, try charging or jump
starting the battery. See
Jump
Starting - North America 0315.
If charging or jump starting the
battery does not work, locate the
hole below the ignition lock. Insert a
flat bladed tool or another key from
the key chain into the opening.
When the lever can be felt, actuate
the lever toward the driver, and
remove the key from the ignition.
