Instruments and controls
Ignition switch
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, ACC, ON and START.
LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed
in this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the steer-
ing wheel slightly to the right and left as
you turn the key.
Automatic transmission vehicles
The key can be turned from “ ACC ” to
“ LOCK ” only when the selector lever is in
the “ P ” position.
Manual transmission vehicles
The key can be turned from “ ACC ” to
“ LOCK ” only when the key is pushed in
while turning it.

Never turn the ignition switch to
“ LOCK ” while the vehicle is being
driven or towed because that will
lock the steering wheel, prevent-
ing steering control. And when
the engine is turned off, it takes a
much greater effort than usual to
steer.
