WARNING - Ignition key  
• 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.  
• Never turn the ignition switch  
to LOCK or ACC while the  
vehicle is moving. This would  
result in loss of directional  
control and braking function,  
which could cause an immedi-  
ate accident.  
• 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 1st gear for manual transaxle  
or P (Park) for automatic  
transaxle, set the parking  
brake fully and shut the  
engine off. Unexpected and  
sudden vehicle movement  
may occur if these precau-  
tions are not taken.  
• Do not place any movable  
objects around the driver’s  
seat as they may move while  
driving, interfere with the driv-  
er and lead to an accident.
