Steering/Ignition lock
63n
Your vehicle is equipped with an inter-
lock. For this reason, the ignition key
cannot be turned to position 0 and re-
moved until the selector lever is in posi-
tion P.
In addition, the selector lever is locked
in position P when the ignition key is in
position 0 or removed from the ignition
switch.
To move the selector lever out of P, the
ignition key must be turned at least to
position 2.
0 Steering lock engaged
This is the only position in which the
ignition key can be inserted and
removed.
1 Steering lock disengaged
You will find that it is often easier to turn
the ignition key from position 0 to posi-
tion 1 when you move the steering
wheel slightly to help disengage the
lock.
An acoustic warning sounds when you
fail to remove the ignition key before
opening the driver's door.
Individual electrical equipment and
accessories are available for use.
After removing the key, turn the steer-
ing wheel slightly to the left or right until
you hear the lock engage.
2 Ignition on
All electrical equipment and accesso-
ries are available for use.
