AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The ignition lock is designed so the key cannot be
turned to the LOCK position and removed until
the shift selector is moved to the P (Park) posi-
tion.

When removing the key from the ignition, make
sure the shift selector is in the P (Park) position.

If the shift selector is not returned to the 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 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 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 can be moved if the igni-
tion 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.
