is not
firmly
set.
•
Never

released.
"Starting procedures" see next
pages.

headlights, windshield wipers,
blower motor and rear window defog-
ger
is temporarily interrupted to
con
serve
battery power.
Before

The
non-repeat lock in the ignition switch prevents the starter from being operated
when engine is running as this could

Refer
to
"Warning/indicator lights" for details.
Chime If you leave the key in the ignition/steering
