CAUTION
•
Do not turn the starter switch to the “START”
position while the engine is running. Doing
so could damage the starter.
•
The starter key cannot be turned from the
“ACC” position to the “LOCK” position
unless it is pressed in. Do not attempt to turn
it by force. Keep the key pressed in while
turning it from the “ACC” position to the
“LOCK” position.
•
If you park the vehicle over an extended
period of time, always place the key in the
“LOCK” position and remove it from the
starter switch. Leaving the key in the “ON”
or “ACC” position could run down the bat-
tery.
•
Avoid using the “ACC” position for long
periods, for example, for listening to the
radio, as the battery could be completely dis-
charged.
Starter switch
WARNING
Never turn the starter switch to any position
other than the “ON” position while driving
the vehicle. Turning the starter switch to the
“ACC” position would be dangerous because
the engine would stop and the following
problems would occur:
•
The braking force reduces extremely.
•
The power steering system would stop
working so the steering action would
become extremely heavy.
•
The electric circuits for the warning lamps
and meters would stop working, and elec-
tric parts could fail.
When the starter key is removed from the
starter switch, the steering wheel locks, mak-
ing steering impossible.
