Ignition switch
& Safety precautions
WARNING
. Never turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (off) while the vehicle is
being driven or towed because
that will lock the steering wheel,
preventing steering control. And
when the engine is turned off, it
takes a much greater effort than
usual to steer.
. Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure
to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child or
others. Children could operate
the power windows, the moon-
roof or other controls or even
make the vehicle move.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you are driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the ON posi-
tion to the ACC or LOCK (off)
position, thereby stopping the en-
gine. Also, if the key is attached to a
keyholder or to a large bunch of
other keys, centrifugal force may act
on it as the vehicle moves, resulting
in unwanted turning of the ignition
switch.
& Ignition switch positions
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK (off), ACC, ON and START.
NOTE
. Keep the ignition switch in the
LOCK (off) position when the engine
is not running.
. Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the ignition switch in the
ON or ACC position can cause the
battery to go dead.
. If the ignition switch will not move
from the LOCK (off) position to the
ACC position, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the left and right as you turn
the ignition switch.
& LOCK (off)
The key can only be inserted or removed
in this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the right and left
as you turn the key.
