Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
vehicle
has a number of theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on
it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target
for joy riders or professional thieves
- so don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a tone
reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take it with you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition. If
you have an automatic transmission, taking your key out also
locks your transmission. And remember
to lock the doors.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Ignition Switch
Use your key to start your vehicle. The key lets you turn the ignition switch
to
five different positions:
2
3
1. OFF
2. RUN
3. START
4. ACC
5. LOCK
ACC (Accessory): ACC lets you use things like the radio and the
windshield wipers when the engine is off. To get into ACC, push in the key
and turn it toward you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just
as it
was before
you inserted the key.
LOCK: This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transmission.
It’s a theft deterrent feature. You will only be able to remove your key when
the ignition is turned to LOCK.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel.
It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like LOCK. Use OFF if you must
have your vehicle
in motion while the engine is off’ (for example, if your
vehicle is being pushed).
RUN: This is the position for driving.
START: This starts your engine.
I I
A CAUTION:
On manual transmission vehicles, turning the key to LOCK will
lock the steering column and result in
a loss of ability to steer the
vehicle. This could cause
a collision. If you need to turn the
engine
off while the vehicle is moving, turn the key only to OFF.
Don’t press the key release button while the vehicle is moving.
