• It is dangerous to turn the ignition switch
to LOCK or ACC while the vehicle is
moving.You could lose control of steering
and braking.
• The anti-theft steering column lock (if
equipped) is not a substitute for the park-
ing brake. Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever is
engaged in P (Park) for automatic
transaxle. Set the parking brake fully AND
shut the engine off. If you do not take these
precautions, the vehicle may move
suddenly and unexpectedly. Take the igni-
tion key with you.
• Never reach through the steering wheel for
the ignition switch or any other controls
while the vehicle is moving. The presence
of your hand or arm in this area could
cause a loss of vehicle control, an accident
and serious bodily injury or fatal injury.

The warning lights can be checked before the
engine is started. This is the normal running posi-
tion after the engine is started.
Do not leave the ignition switch ON if the engine is
not running. The battery will discharge.
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 posi-
tion.
If difficulty is experienced in turning the ignition key
to the START position, turn the steering wheel right
and left to release the tension and then turn the
key.
