The ignition switch should be turned off
only when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is idling.
WARNING

vehicle is moving. This will cause
loss of power to the power steering

ing and braking more difficult. It
could also result in accidental acti-
vation of the

”
position on the
ignition switch, causing the steering
wheel to lock.
