[Ads-l] ignited = turned on the ignition

a lengthy article about how a dog (named "Khan") saved a baby from a deadly snake

"Catherine picked up Khan and with sheer adrenaline, carried him over to the car. She ignited the car and hurried immediately".

The article also has some visual malaprops:  " as soon as they arrived at their destination, Catherine slammed the breaks" and "Low and behold"
