NOTICE:
If
your key seems stuck in “LOCK” and you can’t turn it, be
sure it is all the
way
in.
If
it is, then turn the steering wheel left
and right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key
only
with your hand. Using
a
tool
to
force it could break the key or
the ignition switch.
If
none
of
this works, then your vehicle needs
service.
Key Release Lever
The ignition key
cannot be removed
from
the
ignition of
manual transmission
vehicles unless the
key release lever is
used.
To
Remove the Key
On manual transmission vehicles, turn
the
key to the LOCK position while
pressing
the
key release lever down (see the caution earlier
in
this section
about the key release lever). Keeping your finger on
the
lever, pull the key
straight out.
On automatic transmission vehicles, turn
the
key
to LOCK and
pull
it
straight
out.
Starting
Your
Gasoline Engine
If you have
a
diesel engine,
see
“Starting Your Diesel Engine”
in
the
Index.
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification
Number
(VIN)
shows
the
code letter or number for your engine. You will
find the VIN at the top left
of
your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper steps to start the
engine.
