Ignition switch (vehicle with-
out push-button start sys-
tem)
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, Acc, ON and START.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees while you were
driving, it could turn the ignition
switch from the "ON" position to the
"Acc" or "LOCK" position, thereby
stopping the engine.
& LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed
in this position.
The key can be turned from "Acc" to
"LOCK" only when the key is pushed in
while turning it. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the right and left
as you turn the key.
WARNING
. Never turn the ignition switch to
"LOCK" while the vehicle is
being driven or towed because
that will lock the steering wheel,

takes a much greater effort than
usual to steer.

ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure
to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child or
others. Children could operate
the power windows, the sunroof
or other controls or even make
the vehicle move.

(radio, etc.) can be used.

the engine is started.
& START
The engine is started in this position. The
starter cranks the engine to start it. When
the key is released (after the engine has
started), the key automatically returns to
the "ON" position.
