WARNING -
Ignition switch
NEVER turn the ignition switch
to the LOCK or ACC position
while the vehicle is in motion
except in an emergency. This willresult in the engine turning off
and loss of power assist for the
steering and brake systems. This
may lead to loss of directional
control and braking function,
which could cause an accident.
Before leaving the driver's seat, always make sure the shift lever
is in 1st gear (for manual
transaxle vehicle) or P (Park, for
automatic transaxle vehicle)
position, apply the parking brake,
and turn ignition switch to the
LOCK position. Unexpected vehi-
cle movement may occur if these
precautions are not followed.
NEVER reach through the steer- ing wheel for the ignition switch,
or any other control, while the
vehicle is in motion. The pres-
ence of your hand or arm in this
area may cause a loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
