Instruments and Controls

LOCK (0) — You can insert or
remove the key only in this position.
To switch from ACCESSOR Y to
LOCK, you must push the key in
slightly as you turn it. If your car has
an automati c transmission, the shift
lever must also be in Park. The anti-
theft lock will lock the steering
column when you remove the key.
If the front wheels are turned, the
anti-theft lock may sometimes make
it difficult to turn the key from
LOCK to ACCESSORY . Firmly turn
the steering wheel to the left or to
the right as you turn the key.
Removing the key from the
ignition switch while driving
locks the steering. This can
cause you to lose control.
Remove the key from the
ignition switch only when
parked.
