Key reminder function

A buzzer sounds if the driver’s door is opened, while the engine switch is in
the ACC or LOCK position to remind you to remove the key.

CAUTION

When starting the engine

Always start the engine while sitting in the driver's seat. Do not depress the
accelerator while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

Caution while driving

Do not turn the engine switch to the LOCK position.
If in an emergency, you must turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving,
turn the key only to the ACC position.

NOTICE

To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the key in the ACC or ON position for long periods if the engine
is not running.

When starting the engine

Do not crank for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may overheat the
starter and wiring systems.

Do not race a cold engine.

If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine
checked immediately.
