system armed, the system will be tem-
porarily placed in a standby state. The
system will go back to the surveillance
state upon locking the trunk.
. The system is in the standby mode for
a 30-second period after locking the doors
with the remote transmitter. The security
indicator light will flash at short intervals
during this period. .
If any of the following actions are done
during the standby period, the system will
not switch to the surveillance state.

out “keyless access with

WARNING
. Never turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK ”position while the
vehicle is being driven or towed
because that will lock the steer-
ing wheel, preventing steering
control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much great-
er effort than usual to steer.
. Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways 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 moon-
roof or other controls or even
make the vehicle move.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you are driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the “ON”posi-
tion to the “ACC”or “LOCK ”posi-
tion, thereby stopping the engine.
Also, if the key is attached to a key
holder or to a large bunch of other
keys, centrifugal force may act on it
as the vehicle moves, resulting in
unwanted turning of the ignition
switch.
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, ACC, ON and START.
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”
position, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the left and right as you turn
the ignition switch.
& LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed
in this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the right and left
as you turn the key.
3-4

The key can be turned from the“ACC”to
“ LOCK ”position only when the select
lever is in the “P”position (CVT models)
and the key is pushed in while turning it
(all models).
& ACC
In this position the electrical accessories
(audio, accessory power outlet, 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.
CAUTION
Do not turn the ignition switch to the
“START ”position while the engine
is running.
If your registered key fails to start the
engine, pull out the key once (the security
indicator light will blink), and then insert
the key into 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.
. The key is near another key that
contains an immobilizer transponder.
. The key is near or touching another
transmitter.
& Key reminder chime
The reminder chime sounds when the
driver ’s door is opened and the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK ”or “ACC ”position.
The chime stops under the following
conditions.
. when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON ”position
. when the key is removed from the
ignition switch
. when the driver ’s door is closed
