{CAUTION:
On manual transmission vehicles, turning the
key to LOCK will lock the steering column and
result in a loss of ability to steer the vehicle.
This could cause a collision. If you need to
turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving,
turn the key only to ACC. Do not push the key
in while the vehicle is moving.
Notice:Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break the
key. Use the correct key and turn the key only with
your hand. Make sure the key is all the way in. If
it is, turn the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. If none of this works, then
your vehicle needs service.ACC (ACCESSORY) (B):This is the position in which
you can operate your electrical accessories or items
plugged into the accessory power outlets. It also unlocks
the steering wheel and ignition. Use this position if
your vehicle must be pushed or towed.
ON (C):This is the position that the switch returns to
after you start your engine and release the switch.
The switch stays in ON while the engine is running. But
even while the engine is not running, you can use
ON to operate your electrical accessories and to display
some instrument panel cluster warning and indicator
lights.
START (D):This is the position that starts the engine.
When the engine starts, release the key. The ignition
switch will return to ON for normal driving.
When the engine is not running, ACC and ON allow you
to operate your electrical accessories, such as the
radio or items plugged into the accessory power outlets.
A warning tone will sound if you open the driver's
door while the ignition is in ACC or LOCK and the key
is in the ignition.

Automatic Headlamp System
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic light sensor
on top of the instrument panel, on the passenger's
side of the vehicle, so be sure it is not covered. If it is,
the headlamps will remain on continuously.
There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the DRL and the Automatic
Headlamp Systems so that driving under bridges or
bright overhead street lights does not affect the system.
The DRL and Automatic Headlamp Systems will only
be affected when the light sensor sees a change
in lighting lasting longer than this delay.
When it is dark enough outside, or you are driving
through a parking garage, heavy overcast weather or a
tunnel, the system will turn on your low-beam
headlamps at normal brightness. Along with your
vehicle's headlamps, the taillamps, sidemarker, parking
lamps and the instrument panel lights will also turn
on. The radio display will dim.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamps when you need them.
To temporarily disable your vehicle's DRL and Automatic
Headlamp Systems functions, do the following:
1. Before turning the ignition key to ON or START, set
the parking brake.2. Then turn the ignition key to ON or START.·The Automatic Headlamp System will not turn on
under any conditions, even in darkness.
·The DRL will not turn on.
The DRL and Automatic Headlamp System functions
will stay off with the ignition on, until you release
the parking brake. Once the parking brake is released
the DRL will turn on if it is daylight or the Automatic
Headlamp System will turn on if it is dark enough
outside.
If you turn the ignition key to ON or START and then
set the parking brake, the DRL will turn off (in all
conditions) and the Automatic Headlamp System will
remain on (if dark enough outside). Any other uses
of the parking brake after the engine is turned on will
have no effect on the normal Automatic Headlamp
System operation.
Headlamps On Reminder
If you turn the ignition off, remove the key, open the
door and leave the lamps on, a tone will remind you to
turn off your lamps.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has
been driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).
Your vehicle's odometer is tamper-resistant.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. The new one is set at zero.
Then a label is attached on the driver's door to show the
old reading and when the new one was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to
zero. The button located to the right of the odometer
display allows you to switch between the odometer and
the two trip odometers. Press the button once to
switch to TRIP A and again to switch to TRIP B. To
return the display to the odometer reading, press the trip
odometer button again.
To set the trip odometers to zero, press and hold the
button.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of
revolutions per minute (rpm). You can use it while
driving to select correct shift points. The tachometer may
not return to zero when the engine is not running.
Notice:If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your vehicle
could be damaged, and the damages would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not operate
the engine with the tachometer in the shaded
warning area.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to ON or START, a tone will
come on for several seconds to remind people to fasten
their safety belts, unless the driver's safety belt is
already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay on
until the driver's belt is
buckled.

Audio System(s)
Notice:Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle ± like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio ± be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it's very important to
do it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your vehicle's engine,
radio or other systems, and even damage them.
Your vehicle's systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules

Some models do not include a radio, however all
models come with four speakers, an antenna and all of
the wiring needed to install a radio.
Notice:Any non-factory installed radios are not
covered by your vehicle's warranty.
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with
it ®rst. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle,
®nd out what your audio system can do and how to
operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
