Ignition Switch

IGNITION SWITCH

The ignition switch is located on the right side of the steering column and has the following positions: LOCK, ACC, ON and START.

• LOCK position To lock the steering wheel, remove the ignition key and turn the steering wheel until it locks.

To make it easier to turn the key when unlocking, move the steering wheel slightly left and right and turn the key to the ACC position.

• ACC Position The engine can be turned off without locking the steering wheel by turning the ignition key to the ACC position. To turn the key from the ACC position to the LOCK position, press the key in slightly and turn it to the LOCK position.

With the ignition key in the ACC position, some electrical devices, such as the radio and the cigarette lighter, can operate.

• Do not leave the key in the ACC position for more than 20 minutes.

This will discharge the battery.

• ON Position. Used to supply power to the ignition system and electrical devices.

• Do not leave the key in the ON position with the engine off for more than 20 minutes.

This will discharge the battery.

• START Position Used to start the engine. After the engine starts, release the key – it automatically returns to the ON position.

Before turning the key to the START position, make sure the engine is not running.

• Never turn the ignition key to the OFF position while driving.

This may cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and disable the brake booster, resulting in vehicle damage, injury or even death.

• Do not reach through the steering wheel to the ignition switch.

The steering wheel may suddenly rotate, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle and resulting in injury to the fingers or hands.
