the key whilst turning the steering wheel
right and left to release the tension.

warning lamp can be checked in this
position.
WARNING
Ignition key
僅 Never turn the ignition switch to LOCK
or ACC whilst the vehicle is moving.
This would result in loss of directional
control and braking function, which
could cause an immediate accident.
僅 The anti-theft steering column lock is
not a substitute for the parking brake.
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever is
st
engaged in 1 gear, set the parking
brake fully and shut the engine off.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement may occur if these precau-
tions are not taken.
僅 Never reach for the ignition switch, or
any other controls through the steer-
ing wheel whilst the vehicle is in
motion. The presence of your hand or
arm in this area could cause a loss of
vehicle control, an accident and seri-
ous bodily injury or death.
僅 Do not place any movable objects
around the driver's seat as they may
move whilst driving, interfere with the
driver and lead to an accident.
