● Do not remove the emergency key from the ignition
switch while driving. The steering wheel will be
locked, causing loss of control.
● If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake ser-
vomechanism will cease to function and braking
efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require greater
manual effort to operate the steering.

tion for a long time when the engine is not running,
doing so will cause the battery to be discharged.
● Do not turn the emergency key to the "START"
position when the engine is running, doing so could
