KEY POSITIONS

(if equipped)

Whenever a front door is opened, the

ignition switch will illuminate for your

convenience, provided the ignition

switch is not in the ON position. The

light will go off immediately when the

ignition switch is turned on. It will

also go off after about 30 seconds

after the door is closed.

The steering wheel locks to protect

against theft. (If equipped)

The ignition key can be removed only

in the LOCK position. When turning

the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-

tion, push the key inward at the ACC

position and turn the key toward the

LOCK position.

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

engaged in 1st gear for the manual

transaxle or P (Park) for the auto-

matic transaxle, set the parking

brake fully and shut the engine off.
