qStarting the Engine
Locking, unlocking the steering wheel
The steering wheel is locked if a door is
opened/closed/locked after the power is
turned off using the push button start
while the vehicle is stopped.
This is an automatic safety device to
protect the vehicle against theft.
The steering wheel can be unlocked by
pressing the push button start while the
advanced key is being carried or the
auxiliary key is inserted into the key slot.
If the electronic steering lock warning
light is flashing and the beep sound is
heard, this indicates that the steering
wheel is not unlocked. To unlock the
steering wheel, jiggle the steering wheel
from side to side while pressing the push
button start.
