The auto-reverse function can be activated when
the moonroof is closed or tilted down by auto-
matic operation when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position or for a period of time
after the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto-reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the moonroof
occurs.

operates regardless of ignition switch position.

interior lights illuminate, regardless of door posi-
tion. The lights will go off after a period of time
unless the ignition switch is in the ON position.

The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition
switch cannot be turned to LOCK until the shift
lever is moved to the P (Park) position.
When turning the ignition switch, make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park) position.
If the shift lever is not returned to the P (Park)
position, the ignition switch cannot be moved
toward LOCK. When the ignition switch cannot be turned to-
ward the LOCK position when the Intelligent Key
is in range, proceed as follows:
1. Move the shift lever into the P (Park) posi- tion.
2. Turn the ignition switch slightly in the ON direction.
3. Turn the switch toward the LOCK position.
The shift lever can be moved from the P
(Park) position if the ignition switch is in
the ON position and the foot brake pedal is
depressed.
There is an OFF position in between LOCK and
ACC, although it does not show on the ignition
switch. When the ignition switch is OFF, the
steering wheel is not locked (for models with a
steering wheel lock mechanism) .
In order for the steering wheel to be locked, it
must be turned about 1/6 of a turn counterclock-
wise from the straight up position.
To lock the steering wheel, turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK position. To unlock the
steering wheel, push the ignition switch in
and turn it gently while rotating the steer-
ing wheel slightly right and left. If the battery of the vehicle equipped with
the Intelligent Key system is discharged,
the ignition switch cannot be turned from
the LOCK position, even using the me-
chanical key.
