Starting Your Bronco
Ignition
Understanding the Positions of the Ignition
The positions of the key in the ignition lock cylinder.
ON allows you to test your vehicle’s warning
lights (except the brake system warning light) 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.
START cranks the engine. Release the key once
the engine starts so that you do not damage the
starter. The key should return to ON when you
release it. The START position also allows you
to test the brake warning light.
OFF allows you to shut off the engine and all
accessories without locking the steering wheel or
the automatic transmission gearshift lever.
LOCK locks the steering wheel. It also locks the
gearshift if your vehicle’s gearshift is on the
column.

R
WARNING
LOCK position does not lock the gearshift
on floor-mounted gearshifts. If the
parking brake is not set and the gearshift
is moved out of Park (automatic
transmission) or out of gear (manual
transmission), your vehicle may move
unexpectedly.
With the transfer case in N (Neutral), the vehicle
is free to move with either the automatic
transmission in P (Park) or with the manual
transmission in any driving gear.
R
WARNING
Do not leave the vehicle unattended with
the transfer case in the N (Neutral)
position. Always set the parking brake
fully and turn off the ignition when
leaving the vehicle.
LOCK is the only position that allows you to
remove the key. The LOCK feature helps to
protect your vehicle from theft.
If the key is stuck in the LOCK position, move
the steering wheel left or right until the key
turns freely.
ACCESSORY allows some of your vehicle’s
electrical accessories such as the radio and the
windshield wipers to operate while the engine is
not running.
In order to turn the key from the ON or OFF
position to the ACCESSORY position, you must
push the key release button if your vehicle’s
manual transmission gearshift is mounted on the
floor.

Ignition Key Buzzer or Chime
The buzzer or chime will sound if you open the
driver’s door while the key is in the ignition.
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
key in the ignition.
Removing the Key From the Ignition
Procedures for removing your key from the
ignition will vary, depending on the type of
gearshift your vehicle has. Gearshift levers may
be mounted on the steering column or on the
floor or console.
If you have a manual transmission, you have a
key release lever which allows you to remove
your key from the ignition. The key release lever
is on the upper right of the steering column, just
above the key lock cylinder. The lever says
PUSH.
Key release lever
If your vehicle’s gearshift lever is mounted
on the column:
1.
Put the gearshift in Park.
2.
Set the parking brake fully before removing
your foot from the service brake. (This will
avoid “binding” or “loading” the park gear
if you park on a grade.)
3.
Turn the ignition key to LOCK.
