Ignition switch
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, ACC, ON and START.
NOTE
 Keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position when the engine is
not running.
 Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the ignition switch in the
“ON” or “ACC” position can cause the
battery to go dead.
If the ignition switch will not move from
the “LOCK” position to the “ACC” po-
sition, turn the steering wheel slightly
to the left and right as you turn the ig-
nition switch.
 If the key is attached to a keyholder
or to a large bunch of other keys, cen-
trifugal force may act on it as the vehi-
cle moves, resulting in unwanted turn-
ing of the ignition switch. Also, if a
large keyholder is attached to the key,
your knees or hands may accidentally
touch it in a way that turns the ignition
switch.
¢ LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed
in this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the steer-
ing wheel slightly to the right and left as
you turn the key.
q Automatic transmission vehicles
The key can be turned from “ACC” to
“LOCK” only when the selector lever is in
the “P” position.
q Manual transmission vehicles
The key can be turned from “ACC” to
