Ignition

Understanding the Positions of the Ignition
[ST02600(ALL)06/95]
Your vehicle's ignition has four positions. They are:
*
[ST02700(ALL)06/95]
13-1/2 pica
art:0040047-D
The ignition positions
*
[ST02800(ALL)01/93]
ON allows you to test your vehicle's warning lights to make
sure they work before you start the engine. The key returns to
the ON position once the engine is started and remains in this
position while the engine runs.
[ST02900(ALL)06/95]
START cranks the engine. Release the key once the engine starts
so that you don't damage the starter. The key should return to
the ON position when you release it.
[ST03000(ALL)06/95]
OFF/LOCK allows you to shut off the engine and all accessories
and locks the gearshift lever. Removing the key then locks the
steering wheel.

Ignition Key Chime

the key in the ignition.

Removing the Key From the Ignition
[ST03600(ALL)06/95]
OFF/LOCK is the only position that allows you to remove the
key from the ignition. The LOCK feature helps to protect your
vehicle from theft, because it also locks the steering wheel and
the gearshift lever when the key is removed.

If your key is stuck in the LOCK position, and you are unable
to turn it, move your steering wheel left or right until the key
turns freely.
