The key can only be turned to this position if the

vehicle’s automatic transmission is in PARK (P). To help

guard against theft, your vehicle’s engine is

automatically disabled shortly after turning the key to

this position. A ﬂashing padlock symbol on the bottom

left corner of the instrument panel indicates this.

The steering column is automatically locked when the

key is removed. To release the steering wheel, insert the

key again and turn it towards the front of the vehicle.

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

it is, turn the steering wheel left and right while you

turn the key hard. If none of this works, then

your vehicle needs service.

B (ON): This position is where the key returns to after

you start your engine and release the key. The

ignition 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 accessories and to

display some instrument panel warning lights.

C (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)

Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory

Power (RAP) feature that enables the radio, power

windows, windshield wipers, and accessory power outlet

to continue to work after the ignition key has been

turned to LOCK and removed from the ignition.

The radio, wipers and accessory power outlet will turn

off when the ignition key is turned to LOCK and

removed. By turning the radio back on, you will be able

to operate it, the windshield wipers, and the accessory

power outlet for up to one hour or until:

• The radio is turned off

• Either door is opened

The windows will also operate for 15 minutes or until

either door is opened.
