Ignition switch
WARNING
. Never turn the ignition switch to
“ LOCK” while the vehicle is
being driven or towed because
that will lock the steering wheel,
preventing steering control. And
when the engine is turned off, it
takes a much greater effort than
usual to steer.
. Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure
to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child or
others. Children could operate
the power windows, the moon-
roof or other controls or even
make the vehicle move.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you are driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the “ON ”posi- tion to the
“Acc ”or “LOCK ”posi-
tion, thereby stopping the engine.
Also, if the key is attached to a
keyholder or to a large bunch of
other keys, centrifugal force may act
on it as the vehicle moves, resulting
in unwanted turning of the ignition
switch.
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, Acc, ON and START.NOTE. Keep the ignition switch in the
“ LOCK ”position when the engine is
not running.
. Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the ignition switch in the
“ ON ”or “Acc ”position can cause the battery to go dead.
.
If the ignition switch will not move
from the “LOCK ”position to the “Acc ”
position, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the left and right as you turn
the ignition switch.
& LOCKThe key can only be inserted or removed
in this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the right and left
as you turn the key.

ignition switch
. when the driver ’s door is closed& Ignition switch lightFor easy access to the ignition switch in
the dark, the ignition switch light illumi-
nates when the driver ’s door is opened or
when the driver ’s door is unlocked using
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The light remains illuminated for several
tens of seconds and then gradually turns
off under the following conditions.
. when the driver ’s door is closed

remote keyless entry transmitter
The light turns off immediately under the following conditions.
.
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON ”position

door) are locked using the remote keyless
entry transmitter
Hazard warning flasherThe hazard warning flasher is used to
warn other drivers when you have to park
your vehicle under emergency conditions.
The hazard warning flasher works regard-
less of the position of the ignition switch.

Meters and gaugesNOTELiquid-crystal displays are used in
some of the meters and gauges on
the combination meter. You will find
their indications hard to see if you wear
polarized glasses.& Combination meter illumina-
tionWhen the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON ”position, the various parts of the
combination meter are illuminated in the
following sequence:
Turbo models:
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter
needles and gauge needles illuminate.
2. Meter needles and gauge needles
each show MAX position.
3. Meter needles and gauge needles
each show MIN position.
4. Meter and gauge dials, odometer and
trip meter back light illuminate.
5. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins.
Non-turbo models:
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter
needles, gauge needles, odometer and trip meter back light illuminate.
2. Meter needles and gauge needles
each show MAX position.
3. Meter needles and gauge needles
each show MIN position.
4. Regular illumination (for driving) be-
gins.

Canceling the function for
meter/gauge needle move-
ment upon turning on the
ignition switchIt is possible to activate or deactivate the
movement of the meter needles and

ignition switch is turned to the “ON ”
position.
Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”or“Acc

& Fuel gaugeTurbo modelsNon-turbo models
1) Low fuel warning lightThe fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank. When the ignition switch is in the
“LOCK”
or “Acc ”position, the fuel gauge shows “E”
even if the fuel tank contains fuel.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel
level movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition
switch is in the “LOCK”or “Acc ”position,
the fuel gauge will light up and indicate the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge is indicating the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank, you
(a) do not press the trip knob for 10
seconds or (b) open and close the driver ’s
door, the fuel gauge indication will turn off.
NOTE
You will see the “
”sign in the fuel
gauge meter.
This indicates that the fuel filler door
(lid) is located on the right side of the
vehicle.
! Low fuel warning light
The low fuel warning light illuminates
when the tank is nearly empty [approxi-
mately 2.6 US gal (10.0 liters, 2.2 Imp
gal)].
It only operates when the ignition switch is
in the “ON”position.
NOTEThis light does not turn off unless the
tank is replenished up to an internal
fuel quantity of approximately 4.0 US
gal (15 liters, 3.3 Imp gal).
CAUTION
Promptly put fuel in the tank when-
ever the low fuel warning light
illuminates. Engine misfires as a
result of an empty tank could cause
damage to the engine.

& Temperature gauge (turbo
models)1) Normal operating rangeThe temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON”position.
The coolant temperature will vary in
accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range
and high revving operation when the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
Refer to “Engine overheating ”F9-
13.
REV indicator light and buz-
zer (STI)The REV alarm system issues a warning
using the REV indicator light (and a
buzzer if additionally selected) when the
engine speed reaches a level previously
set using the trip knob.
If you press the trip knob, the odometer/
trip meter will show the engine speed that
has already been set.

to OFF, OFF to ON, or the vehicle starts
moving before the setting procedure is
finished.
. Setting the speed is impossible
when the vehicle is moving.
. The set engine speed may differ
from the engine speed shown by the
tachometer. Use the engine speed
shown by the tachometer as a rough
guide.
. If the setting operation is performed
with the engine switch turned off, the
REV indicator light turns off and the
setting operation is aborted when you
have stopped the setting operation for
approximately 10 seconds.
. If the setting operation is performed
with the engine switch turned off, the
REV indicator light turns off and the
setting operation is aborted when you
open and close the driver ’s door.& Deactivating the REV alarm
systemTo deactivate the REV indicator light and
buzzer functions of the REV alarm system,
set the thousands place of the alarm-level
engine speed to “–”.
Warning and indicator lightsSeveral of the warning and indicator lights
illuminate momentarily and then turn off
when the ignition switch is initially turned
to the “ON”position. This permits check-
ing the operation of the bulbs.
