Ignition switch and anti-theft
steering column lock

Ignition switch position

LOCK
The steering wheel locks to protect
against theft. The ignition key can be
removed only in the LOCK position.
When turning the ignition switch to the
LOCK position, push the key inward at
the ACC position and turn the key toward
the LOCK position (manual transaxle).

ACC (Accessory)
The steering wheel is unlocked and elec-
trical accessories are operative.

ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. The warning lights
can be checked before the engine is
started.
Do not leave the ignition switch ON if the
engine is not running to prevent battery
discharge.

START
Turn the ignition key to the START posi-
tion to start the engine. The engine will
crank until you release the key; then it
returns to the ON position. The brake
warning lamp can be checked in this
position.

NOTICE

If it is difficult to turn the ignition key to
the START position, turn the steering
wheel right and left to release resistance
and then turn the key.

Automatic transaxle

When turning the ignition switch to the
LOCK position, the shift lever must be in
the P (Park) position.

Illuminated ignition switch

Whenever a door is opened, the ignition
switch will be illuminated for your con-
venience, provided the ignition switch is
not in the ON position. The light will go off
approximately 30 seconds after closing
the door or when the ignition switch is
turned on.
