STEERING LOCK AND IGNITION
SWITCH (if available)
The ignition switch has the following four
positions:
LOCK - This is the normal parking posi-
tion. Key from lock can be removed in this
position only.
“LOCK” position prevents normal use of
the steering wheel after the key is re-
moved.
To release the steering lock, put the key in
the slot and turn it clockwise to one click
(ACC).
ACC - Accessories such as the infotain-
ment system can be operated, but the en-
gine remains ‘OFF’. Steering gets
unlocked.
ON - This is the normal operating position.
All electrical systems are ‘ON’.
START - Turn the key further clockwise to
the START position, (spring loaded) to
start the engine. As soon as the engine
starts, release the ignition key, which re-
turns to ON position. While cranking, all
accessories will be momentarily ‘OFF’.
Illuminated Key Ring (if available)
When the vehicle is unlocked, the illumi-
nated key ring glows. This helps to locate
ignition switch in the dark.

steering wheel position is locked. Do
not unlock or adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is in motion.
