Driving your vehicle

Ignition switch position

Your vehicle is equipped with four
different ignition positions.
OSK3058160NR
LOCK (1)
The ignition key can be removed
only in the LOCK position.
ACC (Accessory) (2)
The electrical accessories are oper-
ative. If difficulty is experienced
turning the ignition switch to the
ACC position, turn the key whilst
turning the steering wheel right and
left to release the tension.
ON (3)
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 pre-
vent battery discharge.
START (4)
Turn the ignition switch 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
light can be checked in this position.
WARNING
Ignition switch
Never turn the ignition switch to
LOCK or ACC whilst the vehicle is
moving. This would result in loss of
directional control and braking func-
tion, which could cause an accident.
NOTICE
If you leave the ignition switch to
the ACC or ON position for a long
time, the battery may discharge.
WARNING
Key holder
Do not attach small purses, multiple
keys, or any other heavy accesso-
ries to the driver's key chain used to
start the vehicle. This may cause
the driver to accidentally make the
key inserted in the vehicle to change
the ignition position to the ACC posi-
tion whilst the vehicle is moving
thereby increasing the risk of an
accident and causing the deactiva-
tion of several safety features.
