4RUNNER (1998)
”START”—Starter motor on. The key
will return to the ”ON” position
when released.
For starting tips, see Part 3.
”ON”—Engine on and all accesso-
ries on.
This is the normal driving position.
”ACC”—Accessories such as the ra-
dio operate, but the engine is off.
If you leave the key in the ”ACC” or
”LOCK” position and open the driver’s
door, a buzzer will remind you to re-
move the key.
”LOCK”—Engine is off and the
steering wheel is locked. The key
can be removed only at this posi-
tion.
Vehicles with manual transmission—
You must push in the key to turn the
key from ”ACC” to the ”LOCK” posi-
tion.
Vehicles with automatic transmission—
You must shift the selector lever into
the ”P” position before turning the key
from ”ACC” to the ”LOCK” position.
When starting the engine, the key
may seem stuck at the ”LOCK” posi-
tion. 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.
CAUTION
For manual transmission:
Never remove the key when the
vehicle is moving, as this will
lock the steering wheel and result
in loss of steering control.
NOTICE
Do not leave the key in the ”ON”
position if the engine is not run-
ning. The battery will discharge
and the ignition could be dam-
aged.
