WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat, always
switch the ignition off, set the parking
brake, and make sure the shift lever is
in P (automatic transaxle) or in 1st gear
or R (manual transaxle):
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition off, setting the
parking brake, and shifting the shift
lever to P (automatic transaxle) or to
1st gear or R (manual transaxle) 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.

Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (ACC) illuminates.
In addition, for vehicles equipped with the
steering column lock function, the
steering wheel unlocks.
NOTE
The advanced 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.
ON
This is the normal running position after

The warning lights (except brakes) should
be inspected before the engine is started
(page 5-41).
NOTE
(With headlight auto-leveling)
When the push button start is pressed to the
ON position, the sound of the headlight
leveling motors operating at the front of the
engine compartment can be heard. This does
not indicate an abnormality.

lThe advanced key must be carried because
the advanced key carries an immobilizer
chip that must communicate with the engine
controls at short range.
lThe engine can be started when the push
button start is pressed from off, ACC, or
