Steering Lock
0 Steering is locked when the key
is withdrawn and the steering
lock is engaged. The key can be
withdrawn only in zero position.
Note:
Do not remove key from steering
lock while the vehicle is in
motion as this will cause the
engagement of the steering lock
thus rendering the vehicle
inoperable.
1 Steering is unlocked. (If neces
sary, move steering wheel
slightly to turn the key clockwise
to position “1” .)
2 Driving position.
3 Starting position.
For starting and turning off the
engine, refer to page 51.
Notes:
The following items can be operated
with the key in steering lock posi
tion “1” :

lamp flasher, lighter, glove com
partment lamp, radio, seat heater for
front seats.

door is opened.
With the engine at idle speed, the
charging rate of the alternator

off unnecessary electrical consu
mers while driving in stop and go
traffic. This precaution helps to
avoid draining the battery.
An effective measure to preserve
battery power is to turn off the
following consumers:
Seat heater, heated rear window.
