Engine (ignition) switch
“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
NOTICE
Do not leave the engine switch in the
“ON” position if the engine is not
running. The battery will discharge
and the ignition could be damaged.
You must push in the key to turn engine
switch from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position.
The selector lever must be 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 14
in Section 1−2.)
When starting the engine, the engine
switch may seem stuck at the “LOCK”
position. To free it, first be sure the key
is pushed all the way in, and then rock
the steering wheel slightly while turning
the key gently.
“START”—Starter motor on. The engine
switch will return to the “ON” position
when released.
For starting tips, see page 369 in Section
3.
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.)
“ON”—Engine on and all accessories
on.
This is the normal driving position.
“ACC”—Accessories such as the radio
operate, but the engine is off.
It is not a malfunction if the needles on
all meters and gauges move slightly when
the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”,
“ON” or “START” position.
If you leave the engine switch in the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position and open the
driver’s door, a buzzer will remind you to
remove the key.
