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.
● Open or close any door to return to LOCK

The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition
switch position cannot be switched to LOCK

tion. The ignition switch position indicator
will not illuminate.
3. Open the door. The ignition switch will

The selector 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 operation are
displayed on the dot matrix liquid crystal dis-
play between the speedometer and tachometer.
