Ignition Switch
▼Push Button Start Positions
The system operates only when the key
is within operational range.
Each time the push button start is
pressed, the ignition switches in the
order of
off, ACC, and ON. Pressing
the push button start again from ON
switches the ignition off.
1. Indicator light
2. Push button start
NOTE
The engine starts by pressing the
push button start while depressing
the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission). To switch
the ignition position, press the push
button start without depressing the
pedal.
Do not leave the ignition switched
ON while the engine is not running.
Doing so could result in the battery
going dead. If the ignition is left in
ACC (For automatic transmission,
the selector lever is in the P position,
and the ignition is in ACC), the
ignition switches off automatically
after about 25 minutes.
Off
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the indicator light
(amber) also turns off.
WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always switch the ignition off, set the
parking brake, and make sure the
selector lever is in P (automatic
transmission) position or in 1st gear
or R (manual transmission):
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition off, setting the
parking brake, and shifting the selector
lever to P (automat ic transmission)
position or to 1st gear or R (manual
transmission) is dangerous.
Unexpected vehicle movement could
occur which could result in an
accident.
In addition, if your intention is to leave
the vehicle for even a short period, it is
important to switch the ignition off, as
leaving it in another position will
disable some of the vehicle's security
systems and run the battery down.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will
operate and the indicator light (amber)
illuminates.
NOTE
The keyless entry system does not
function while the push button start
has been pressed to ACC, and the
doors will not lock/unlock even if they
have been locked manually.
