When the ignition switch is pushed without

. Push center three times to change to
OFF. (No position illuminates.)
. Push center four times to return to ACC.

The ignition lock is designed so that the
ignition switch position cannot be switched
to LOCK until the shift lever is moved to the
P (Park) position.
When the ignition switch cannot be pushed
toward the LOCK position, proceed as
follows:

position.
2. Push the ignition switch to the OFF
position. The ignition switch position
indicator will not illuminate.
3. Open the door. The ignition switch will
change to the LOCK position.
The shift lever can be moved from the P
(Park) position if the ignition switch is in
the ON position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
If the battery of the vehicle is discharged,
the push-button ignition switch cannot be
turned from the LOCK position.
Some indicators and warnings for opera-
tion are displayed on the dot matrix liquid
crystal display between the speedometer
and tachometer. (See “Dot matrix liquid
crystal display” in the “2. Instruments and
