Ignition Key Buzzer or Chime

The buzzer or chime will sound if you open the
driver's door while the key is in the ignition.
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the
key in the ignition.

Removing the Key From the Ignition

Procedures for removing your key from the
ignition will vary, depending on the type of
gearshift your vehicle has. Gearshift levers may
be mounted on the steering column or on the
floor or console.
If you have a manual transmission, you have a
key release lever which allows you to remove
your key from the ignition. The key release lever
is on the upper right of the steering column, just
above the key lock cylinder. The lever says
PUSH.

If your vehicle's gearshift lever is mounted
on the column:
1. Put the gearshift in Park.
2. Set the parking brake fully before removing
your foot from the service brake. (This will
avoid "binding" or "loading" the park gear
if you park on a grade.)
3. Turn the ignition key to LOCK.
