Ignition switch (models with-
out push-button start sys-
tem)
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.
& LOCK
The 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.
The key can be turned from “ACC”to
“LOCK ”only when the key is pushed in
3-4

while turning it (all models) and the select
lever is in the“P ”position (CVT models).
& ACC
In this position the electrical accessories
(radio, accessory power outlet, etc.) can
be used.
&ON
This is the normal operating position after
the engine is started.
&START
CAUTION
Do not turn the ignition switch to the
“START ”position while the engine
is running.
The engine is started in this position. The
starter cranks the engine to start it. When
the key is released (after the engine has
started), the key automatically returns to
the “ON ”position.
If the engine does not start with your
registered key, pull out the key once (at
this time, the security indicator light will
blink), reinsert the key in the ignition
switch and then try to start the engine
again.
NOTE
The engine may not start in the follow-
ing cases:
. The key grip is touching another key
or a metallic key holder.
. The key is near another key that contains an immobilizer transponder.
.
The key is near or touching another
transmitter.
& Key reminder chime
The reminder chime sounds when the
driver ’s door opens and the key is in the
“LOCK ”or “ACC ”positions. The chime
stops when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON”position or the key is removed
from the ignition switch.
& Ignition switch light
For easy access to the ignition switch in
the dark, the ignition switch light illumi-
nates when driver ’s door is opened or
when the driver ’s door is unlocked using
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The light remains illuminated for approxi-
mately 30 seconds and gradually turns off
under the following conditions.
. When the driver ’s door is closed
. When the doors are unlocked using the
remote keyless entry transmitter
The light gradually turns off under the
following conditions.
. When the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON ”position
. When the doors are locked using the
remote keyless entry transmitter
