CAUTION:
On manual transmission vehicles, turning the
key to LOCK will lock the steering column and
result in a loss of ability to steer the vehicle.
This could cause a collision. If you need to
turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving,
turn the key only to OFF. Do not press the key
release button while the vehicle is moving.
Notice: If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you
can not turn it, be sure you are using the correct
key; if so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break the
key or the ignition switch. If none of these works,
then your vehicle needs service.
C (RUN): This is the position for driving.
D (START): This position starts your engine.
Key Release Button (Manual
Transmission)
The ignition key cannot be
removed from the ignition
of manual transmission
vehicles unless the
key release button is used.
To remove the key on manual transmission vehicles,
turn the key to ACC, then press the button and turn the
key to LOCK. Do not hold the button in while turning
the key to ACC. Pull the key straight out.
