[A] : LOCK, [B] : ACC, [C] : ON, [D] : START
Whenever the front door is opened, the indicator lights up if the ignition key is not in the ON position. The light turns off immediately when the ignition is turned on, or turns off approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed. (If equipped)
WARNING
- NEVER turn the ignition key to the LOCK or ACC position while the vehicle is moving, except in an emergency. This will cause the engine to shut off and the power steering and brake booster to lose assist. This may result in loss of steering control and braking function, which may cause an accident.
- Before leaving the driver's seat, always make sure the shift lever is in 1st gear (for vehicles with a manual transmission) or P (Park, for vehicles with an automatic transmission), apply the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to the LOCK position. If these precautions are not observed, unexpected vehicle movement may occur.
NOTICE
Never use aftermarket key cylinder covers. This may cause a starting failure due to a communication malfunction.
