CAUTION
l
Do not remove the ignition key from the ig-
nition switch while driving. The steering
wheel will be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
l
If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,
the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater manual effort to
operate the steering.
l
Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not run-
ning, doing so will cause the battery to be
discharged.
l
Do not turn the key to the “START” position
while the engine is running. Doing so could
damage the starter motor.

gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
