Turned the ignition key with it? (8,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

switched-on

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'with it?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'turned the ignition key' is the wordplay.
'turned' becomes 'switched' (switching is a kind of turning).
'the ignition key' becomes 'on' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'switched'+'on'='SWITCHED-ON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for switched-on that I've seen is " Aware, up to date".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
