3-4 Instruments and controls
NOTE
Keep the ignition switch in the
LOCK position when the engine is
not running.
Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the ignition switch in the ON or ACC position can cause the
battery to go dead.
If the ignition switch will not move from
the LOCK position to the ACC po-
sition, turn the steering wheel slightly
to the left and right as you turn the ig-
nition switch.
If the key is attached to a keyholder
or to a large bunch of other keys, cen-
trifugal force may act on it as the vehi-
cle moves, resulting in unwanted turn-
ing of the ignition switch. Also, if a
large keyholder is attached to the key,
your knees or hands may accidentally
touch it in a way that turns the ignition switch.
ACC
In this position the electrical accessories
(radio, cigarette lighter, etc.) can be used.
ON
This is the normal operating position after
the engine is started.
START
The engine is started in this position. The
starter cranks the engine to start it. When
the key is released (after the engine has
started), the key automatically returns to
the
ON position.
For vehicle with immobilizer
If your registered key fails to start the en-
gine, pull out the key once (the security in-
dicator light will blink), and then insert the
key in the ignition switch and turn it to the START position and again try to start the
engine.
NOTE
The engine may not start in the follow-
ing cases:
The key grip is touching another key
or a metallic key holder.
Before leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition
switch for safety and never allow
an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury to
a child or others. Children could
operate the power windows, the
sunroof or other controls or even
make the vehicle move.
Do not turn the ignition switch to the START position while the engine
is running.
