Key Release
Button
On manual transmission vehicles, turning the key
to
LOCK
will lock the steering column and result
in
a
loss
of
ability
to
steer
the vehicle. This could
cause a collision.
If
you need to turn the engine
off while the vehicle is moving, turn the key only
to
OFT.
Don’t press the key release button while
the vehicle is moving.
NOTICE:
If
your key seems stuck in
LOCK
and you can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so,
is it
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.
The
key
cannot be
removed from the ignition
of manual transmission
vehicles
unless
the key
release button is used.
To
remove the key on manual transmission vehicles,
turn the key
to
OFF.
Then turn the key to
LOCK
while
pressing the key release button down at the same time.
Pull the key straight out.
On
automatic transmission vehicles, turn the key to
LOCK
and pull it straight out.
Retained Accessory Power
Your vehicle is equipped with a Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) feature which will allow certain features
of
your vehicle to continue to work
up
to
20
minutes
after the ignition key is turned to
OFF.
