Driving your vehicle
KEY POSITIONS
ACC (Accessory)
The steering wheel is unlocked and elec-
trical accessories are operative.
WARNING - Ignition key
• Never turn the ignition key to
LOCK or ACC while the vehicle is
moving. This would result in loss
of directional control and braking
function, which could cause an
accident.
✽
NOTICE
If difficulty is experienced turning the
ignition switch to the ACC position, turn
the key while turning the steering wheel
right and left to release the tension.
• The anti-theft steering column lock
is not a substitute for the parking
brake. Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the shift
lever is engaged in P (Park) for the
automatic transaxle, or reverse for
the manual transaxle, set the park-
ing brake fully, and shut the engine
off. Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement may occur if these
precautions are not taken.
ON
The warning lights can be checked
before the engine is started. This is the
normal running position after the engine
is started.

Ignition switch position
LOCK
Do not leave the ignition switch ON if the
engine is not running to prevent battery
discharge.
The steering wheel locks to protect
against theft. The ignition key can be
removed only in the LOCK position.
When turning the ignition switch to the
LOCK position, push the key inward at
the ACC position and turn the key toward
the LOCK position.
• Never reach for the ignition switch,
or any other controls through the
steering wheel while the vehicle is
in motion. The presence of your
hand or arm in this area could
cause a loss of vehicle control, an
accident and serious bodily injury
or death.
START
Turn the ignition key to the START posi-
tion to start the engine. The engine will
crank until you release the key; then it
returns to the ON position. The brake
warning lamp can be checked in this
position.
• Do not place any movable objects
around the driver’s seat as they
may move while driving, interfere
with the driver and lead to an acci-
dent.
