Removing the Key From the Ignition
LOCK is the only position that allows you to remove the key
from the ignition. The LOCK feature helps to protect your
vehicle from theft, because it also locks the steering wheel and
the gearshift lever when the key is removed.
If your key is stuck in the LOCK position, and you are unable
to turn it, move your steering wheel left or right until the key
turns freely.
To remove your key from the ignition:
Put the gearshift lever in P (Park).
1.
Set the parking brake fully.
2.
Turn the ignition key to LOCK.
3.
Remove the key.
4.
When you leave your vehicle, place the gearshift lever in
Park (P). Set the parking brake fully, and shut off the
engine. Never park your vehicle in Neutral (N). If you do
not take these precautions, your vehicle may move
suddenly and injure someone.
Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets alone in
your vehicle. They could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle.
Further, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause
severe and possibly fatal injuries to people as well as
animals.
