Instruments and controls/Ignition switch (models without push – button start system)
Ignition switch (models with-
out push-button start sys-
tem) WARNING. Never turn the ignition switch to
“ LOCK ” while the vehicle is
being driven or towed because
that will lock the steering wheel,
preventing steering control. And
when the engine is turned off, it
takes a much greater 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
keyholder 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
