Standard Ignition and Key

The ignition switch can be turned to four positions: ACCESSORY, OFF, ON, and START. See Fig..

The key can be inserted and removed only in the OFF position. The headlights (low beams), brake lights, fog lights, dome lights, clearance lights, turn signals, hazard warning lights, and parking lights operate with the ignition switch in the OFF position, regardless of whether the key is inserted.

In the accessory (ACC) position (key is turned counterclockwise), all electric gauges operate.

Turn the key fully clockwise to the START position to start the engine. When the engine starts, release the key.

In the ON position (key turned 45 degrees clockwise), all electrical systems are operable. The warning lights and buzzer for the low air pressure and low oil pressure warnings operate until the engine is started and minimum pressures build up.
