To turn from "ACC" to "LOCK"
1. [Vehicles with M/T]
Push the emergency key in at the "ACC" po-
sition and keep it depressed until it is turned
to the "LOCK" position, and remove.
[Vehicles with Twin Clutch SST]
First, set the gearshift lever to the "P"
(PARK) position, and then push the emergen-
cy key in at the "ACC" position and keep it
depressed until it is turned to the "LOCK" po-
sition, and remove.
2. Install the cover of the ignition switch.

operation key.
NOTE
l Vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the emergen-
cy key cannot be removed unless the gear-
shift lever is set to the "P" (PARK) position.
l When not using the emergency key, always
install the ignition switch cover. Otherwise,
there is a danger of dirt or dust getting into
the keyhole of the ignition switch and caus-
ing a malfunction.
CAUTION
l Do not remove the emergency key from
the ignition switch while driving. The
steering wheel will be locked, causing loss
of control.
CAUTION
l
If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to func-
tion and braking efficiency will deterio-
rate. Also, the power steering system will
not function and it will require greater
manual effort to operate the steering.
l Do not leave the ignition switch in the
"ON" or "ACC" position for a long time
when the engine is not running, doing so
will cause the battery to be discharged.
l Do not turn the ignition switch to the
"START" position when the engine is run-
ning, doing so could damage the starter
motor.

Tips for starting
l Do not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly longer than 10 seconds; doing so could
run down the battery. If the engine does not
start, turn the ignition switch back to
"LOCK", wait a few seconds, and then try
again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter mechanism.
