3-1 . Ignition switch ( models without “ keyless access with push-button start system ”)
WARNING
S03AA
. Never turn the ignition switch to the “ LOCK ” position while the vehicle is being driven or towed because that will lock the steering wheel , preventing steering control . And when the engine is turned off , it takes a much greater effort than usual to steer .
. Before leaving the vehicle , always remove the key from the ignition switch for safety and never allow an unattended child to remain in the vehicle . Failure to follow this procedure could result in injury to a child or others . Children could operate the power windows , the moonroof or other controls or even make the vehicle move .
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or key case to either key . If it banged against your knees or hands while you are driving , it could turn the ignition switch from the “ ON ” position to the “ ACC ” or “ LOCK ” position , thereby stopping the engine . Also , if the key is attached to a key holder or to a large bunch of other keys , centrifugal force may act on it as the vehicle moves , resulting in unwanted turning of the 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 ” position , turn the steering wheel slightly to the left and right as you turn the ignition switch .
