CAUTION!
•
Do not remove the ignition key from the ignition
switch while driving. The steering wheel will
lock, causing loss of control.
•
If the engine is turned off while driving, the
power brake servomechanism will cease to func-
tion and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,
the power steering system will not function and it
will require greater effort to operate the steering.
•
Do not leave the key in the “ON” position for a
long time when the engine is not running; doing
so will cause the battery to discharge.
•
Do not turn the key to the “START” position
when the engine is running; doing so could dam-
age the starter motor.
KEY REMINDER CHIME
If the driver’s door is opened while the ignition key is in

sounds.
