Before leaving the driver's seat, always
put the key or start knob to LOCK

will disable some of the vehicle
security systems and run the battery
down.

putting the ignition switch in LOCK
position, setting the parking brake
and shifting the shift lever to P is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur. This could
cause an accident.
NOTE

If turning the ignition switch is difficult,
jiggle the steering wheel from side to side.
l
The ignition switch cannot be turned from
the ACC position to the LOCK position
when the shift lever is not in P.
