WARNING

Never remove or turn the key to the LOCK

position while driving. The steering wheel

will lock. This may cause the driver to lose

control of the vehicle and could result in

serious vehicle damage or personal injury.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The ignition lock is designed so the key cannot be

turned to the LOCK position and removed until

the shift selector lever is moved to the P (Park)

position.
When removing the key from the ignition, make

sure the shift selector lever is in the P (Park)

position.
If the selector lever is not returned to P (Park)

position, the key cannot be moved to the LOCK

position.
When the key cannot be turned to the LOCK

position, proceed as follows to remove the key.

1. Move the shift selector lever into the P (Park)

position.

2. Turn the ignition key slightly toward the ON

position.

3. Turn the key to the LOCK position.
4. Remove the key.

The shift selector lever is designed so it cannot

be moved out of P (Park) and into any of the other

gear positions if the ignition key is turned to OFF

position or if the key is removed from the switch.
The shift selector lever can be moved if the

ignition switch is in the ON position and the

foot brake pedal is depressed.
There is an OFF position between the

LOCK and ACC positions. The OFF position

is indicated by a “1” on the key cylinder.

When the ignition is in the OFF position,

the steering wheel is not locked.
In order for the steering wheel to be locked, it

must be turned about 1/8 of a turn clockwise

from the straight up position.
To lock the steering wheel, turn the key to

the LOCK position. Remove the key. To

unlock the steering wheel, insert the key

and turn it gently while rotating the steer-

ing wheel slightly right and left.
