Ignition switch (models without push-button start system)
WARNING
. Never turn the ignition switch to
“LOCK” 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
keyholder or to a large bunch of
other keys, centrifugal force may act
on it as the vehicle moves, re 7V
