There is an OFF position between the
LOCK and ON positions. The OFF position
is indicated by a “1” on the ignition switch.
When the ignition is in the OFF position,
the steering wheel is not locked (for mod-
els with a steering lock mechanism).

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.

If the key will not turn from the LOCK posi-
tion, turn the steering wheel to the left or
right while turning the key to unlock the key
cylinder.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION (if so
equipped)

The ignition switch includes a device that helps
prevent accidental removal of the key while driv-
ing.

The key can only be removed when the ignition
switch is in the LOCK position.

On manual transmission models, to turn the igni-
tion switch to the LOCK position from the ACC or
ON position, place the ignition switch in the OFF
position, push the key in, then place the ignition
switch in LOCK position.
