“START”—Starter motor on. The key
will return to the “ON” position when
released.
For starting tips, see page 262.
“ON”—Engine on and all accessories
on.
This is the normal driving position.
“ACC”—Accessories such as the radio
operate, but the engine is off.
If you leave the key in the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position and open the driver’s
door, a buzzer will remind you to remove
the key.
“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
To turn the key from “ACC” to the “LOCK”
position, you must put the selector lever
in the “P” position.
Once you remove the key, the engine im-
mobilizer system is automatically set. (See
“Engine immobilizer system” on page 12.)
When starting the engine, the key may
seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To
free it, first be sure the key is pushed all
the way in, and then rock the steering
wheel slightly while turning the key gently.
It is not a malfunction if the needles on
all meters and gauges more slightly when
the key is turned to the “ACC” or “START”
position.
Approximately five hours after the engine
is turned off, you may hear a sound com-
ing from underneath the luggage compart-
ment for several minutes. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. (See page ix.)
NOTICE
Do not leave the key in the “ON”
position if the engine is not running.
The battery will discharge and the
electronic ignition system could be
damaged.
