wtH. You mean to start the car? Try the red button on the right of your steering wheel....

uh... turn the key to the 2nd position and then try pressing the red button. Alternatively you can refer to the first few pages of your owners manual....

There is a lock out feature if the steering wheel is turned without the key in the ignition. Try turning the steering wheel lightly in either direction while trying to get to the 3rd position with the key.

Not sure why there should be 3 positions unless you count just the key being in the ignition as one. Stick key in, one click turns on radio (among other things), two clicks turns on dash (among other things), push clutch in and push the magic button. Pretty sure thats how it works on ALL S2K's from the showroom.
