Ignition Switch
The ignition switch (Fig. 6), used to start and stop the
engine, has two positions: Off and On. Rotate the key
clockwise to the On position to allow operation. When
the vehicle is stopped, rotate the key counterclockwise

drops below a safe level (Fig. 6). If the light comes on

added if necessary; see Engine Oil.

action needs to be taken.
