4-2. Driving procedures
When the steering lock cannot be released
When starting the engine, the engine
switch may seem stuck in the "LOCK"
position. To free it, turn the key while turn-
ing the steering wheel slightly left and
right.
Key reminder function
A buzzer sounds if the driver's door is opened while the engine switch is in
the "LOCK" or "ACC" position to remind you to remove the key.
CAUTION
When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver's seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Caution when driving
Do not turn the engine switch to the "LOCK" position while driving. If in an
emergency, you must turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving, turn
the engine switch only to the "ACC" position to stop the engine. An accident
may result if the engine is stopped while driving. (P. 585)
NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the engine switch in the "ACC" or "ON" position for long peri-
ods of time without the engine running.
When starting the engine
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may
overheat the starter and wiring system.
Do not race a cold engine.
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
cle checked by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional immediately.
