WARNING

set the parking brake and make sure
the shift lever is in P with an
automatic transmission or in 1 or R
with a manual transmission:
It is important to place the key in the
LOCK position even if you are not
removing the key from the ignition or
leaving the vehicle. Leaving the key in
other positions will disable some of the
vehicle security systems and run the
battery down.
Leaving the driver's seat without
putting the ignition switch in LOCK
position, setting the parking brake and
shifting the shift lever to P with an
automatic transmission, or to 1 or R
with a manual transmission is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle

steering wheel from side to side.
Leaving the key in any position but
LOCK position also disables some of
the security features and may run the
