This is the normal driving position.

"LOCK"—Engine is off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
You must push in the key to turn the key
from "ACC" to the "LOCK" position. On
vehicles with an automatic transmission,
the selector lever must be put in the "P"
position before pushing the key.
Once you remove the key, the engine im-
mobilizer system is automatically set. (See
"Engine immobilizer system" on page 18
in Section 1−2.)
When starting the engine, the key may
seem stuck at the "LOCK" position. To
free it, first be sure the key is pushed all
the way in, and then rotate the steering
wheel slightly while turning the key gently.
Approximately five hours after the engine
is turned off, you may hear sound coming
from underneath the luggage compartment
for several minutes. This is normal opera-
tion and does not indicate a malfunction.
(See "Leak detection pump" on page viii.)
It is not a malfunction if the needle on all
meters and gauges move slightly when the
key is turned to the "ACC", "ON" or
"START" position.
CAUTION
For manual transmission:
Never remove the key when the ve-
hicle is moving, as this will lock the
steering wheel and result in loss of
steering control.
NOTICE
Do not leave the key in the "ON"
position if the engine is not running.
The battery will discharge and the
ignition could be damaged.
