Select the ignition ON position when the vehicle is being towed.
Do not leave the ignition in ON for long durations when the
engine is OFF. This could lead to battery drain and ignition
switch damage.
START
— This position is to start the engine by cranking the starter
motor. This is a momentary position. When the key is turned to
start position, the starter cranks the engine. Once the engine is
running, release the key, and the key reverts back to ON position
disengaging the starter motor from the engine.
Do not continue cranking after the engine has started. This will
lead to damage of the starter and other engine components.
If turning the key is difficult, jiggle the steering wheel from side
to side and try again. The key can be removed only in the
LOCK
position. When the key is removed, the steering column lock is
activated and the steering wheel cannot be turned.
Never return the key to the
LOCK
position or try to remove the
key, when the vehicle is in motion. Removing the key allows the
steering wheel to lock. You will loose control of the vehicle and
may lead to a serious accident. Remove the key only when the
vehicle is parked.
