CAUTION
l Do not remove the ignition key from the
ignition switch while driving. The steer-
ing wheel will be locked, causing loss of

l If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to func-

rate. Also, the power steering system will
not function and it will require greater
manual effort to operate the steering.
