A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always
remove the key from the ignition, lock the doors, and
close the windows when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.

Ignition Key Removal

Ignition Key Positions
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 9
Place the shift lever in PARK and make sure that the
gearshift knob push button has returned to the out
position. Turn the key to the Lock position and remove
the key.
NOTE: If you try to remove the key before you place
the lever in PARK, the key may become trapped tempo-
rarily in the key cylinder. If this occurs, rotate the key
clockwise slightly, then remove the key as described. If a
malfunction occurs, the system may trap the key in the
ignition cylinder to warn you that this safety feature is
inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped but
the key cannot be removed until you obtain service.

Automatic Transaxle Ignition Interlock System

This system prevents the key from being removed unless
the shift lever is in PARK. It also prevents shifting out of
PARK unless the key is in the OFF or RUN positions.

Key-In-Ignition Reminder

Opening the driver's door when the key is in the ignition
and is in the OFF, LOCK, or ACC position, sounds a
signal to remind you to remove the key.
