14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Automatic Transaxle Ignition Interlock System

This system prevents the key from being removed unless
the shift lever is in PARK and the shift knob push-button
is fully released. It also prevents shifting out of PARK
unless the key is in the ON/RUN or START positions and
you have depressed the brake pedal.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always
remove the key from the ignition and lock all the
doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

DOOR LOCKS

Manual Door Locks

All doors are equipped with a rocker-type interior door
lock. To lock a door when leaving your vehicle, press the
rocker switch to the LOCK position and close the door.
NOTE: To avoid accidentally locking your keys in the
vehicle, make sure you have them with you before
closing any door.
WARNING!
For personal security, and safety in the event of an
accident, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as well
as when you park and leave the vehicle.
