Make sure the gearshift lever is in Neutral
(Manual Transmission) when starting the
engine. The Automatic Transmission can
be started in Neutral or Park (also see
pages 30 and 33).
The steering is equipped with an anti-theft
ignition lock.
To remove the key and to lock the steer-
ing, turn the key back to position 1 and
pull it out. Turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
The steering column will lock when you
remove the key. Therefore DO NOT RE-
MOVE the key while you are driving or
as the car is rolling to a stop.
If you leave the key in the ignition/steer-
ing lock, the buzzer will sound when the
driver’s door is opened. This is your
reminder to remove the key.
When the needle is on the “R”, there is a re-
serve of about 1 gallon of fuel left in the
tank . . . time to refuel at the next gas sta-
tion.
The fuel gauge only works with the igni-
tion on.
The following indicator or warning lights
are in the fuel gauge dial.
