ON
The warning lights can be checked
before the engine is started. This is
the normal running position after the
engine is started.
Do not leave the ignition switch ON if
the engine is not running to prevent
battery discharge.
START
Turn the ignition key to the START
position to start the engine. The
engine will crank until you release
the key; then it returns to the ON
position. The brake warning lamp
can be checked in this position.
WARNING
- Ignition key
• 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 accident.
• The anti-theft steering column
lock (if equipped) is not a sub-
stitute 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 automatic
transaxle, set the parking
brake fully and shut the
engine off. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement
may occur if these precau-
tions are not taken.

• Never reach for the ignition
switch, or any other controls
through the steering 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 serious bodily
injury or death.
• Do not place any movable
objects around the driver's
seat as they may move whilst
driving, interfere with the driv-
er and lead to an accident.
