STEERING WHEEL LOCK
When the key is removed, the steering col-
umn lock will be activated and will engage
when the steering wheel is turned to the
appropriate position. It is not necessary to
turn the wheel until locked each time the key
is removed since in the event of any unautho-
rized attempt at removal, the lock will become
effective as soon as the steering wheel is
turned. To unlock the steering, insert the key
and turn to the "ACC" position. If the steering
is locked, it may be necessary to rock the
steering wheel slightly to facilitate turning the
key. Under no circumstances should the key
be forced since breakage of the key will occur.

STARTING THE GASOLINE ENGINE

1. Ensure that the transaxle is in neutral and
that the clutch pedal is held depressed
(manual transaxle) or the transaxle selec-
tor is at the "P" position (automatic transaxle
vehicle).
2. Turn the ignition key to and hold at the
"Start" position until the engine starts.
When the engine has started, release the
key.
NOTE:
Do not operate the starter for more than 15
seconds continuously or continue to oper-
ate the starter after the engine has started
to avoid damaging the starter motor. If the
engine makes a false start, allow it and the
starter motor to come to rest before at-
tempting to start the engine again. Never
attempt to start the engine with the
transaxle in gear. Do not depress the ac-
celerator pedal whilst starting the engine.
Allow the engine to idle for 20 seconds or
so before driving the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the vehicle unattended whilst
idling. Never allow the vehicle to idle or
warm up in a confined space (ie garage)
longer than is necessary to move the vehi-
cle into an open area.
