positions:
Accessory: An “on” position in which
you can operate your radio and
windshield wipers. Press in the ignition
switch as you turn the top
of it toward
you.
Lock The only position in which you
can remove the key. This locks your
steering wheel, ignition and transaxle.
I
Off: Unlocks the steering wheel,
ignition, and transaxle, but does not
send electrical power to any accessories.
Use this position if your vehicle must be
pushed or towed, but never try to push-
start your vehicle. A warning chime will
sound
if you open the driver’s door
when the ignition is
off and the key is in
the ignition.
Run: An “on” position to which the
switch returns after you start your
engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in the
Run position when
the engine is running. But even when
the engine is not running, you can use

accessories, and to display some instru-
ment panel warning lights.

Pump-to-Set Parking Brake
The parking brake uses the brakes on
the rear wheels.
To Set the Parking Brake:
Hold the regular brake pedal down with
your right
foot. Pump your parking
brake pedal several times with your left
foot until the pedal feels firm. If the
ignition is on, the brake system warning
light will come
on.
Over time, more pumps may be needed
to set the parking brake firmly.
If it ever takes more than two full
pumps, have the brake system adjusted
by your dealer.

Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system
(headlamps, parking lamps, fog lamps,
side marker lamps and tail lamps) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and
provinces may apply their
own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before
you operate these
lamps. For example, some jurisdictions
may require that you operate your lower
beam lamps with fog lamps
at all times,
or that headlamps be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield
wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions
prohibit drively solely with parking
lamps, especially at dawn or
dusk. It is
recommended that you check with your
own state or provincial highway
authority for applicable lighting
regulations.
Lights On Reminder
If you open the door with the ignition
off and the lights on, you will hear
a
warning chime.
