When you switch on the ignition, all lamps
(except high-beam headlamp indicator lamp,
and turn signal indicator lamps unless acti-
vated) in the instrument cluster come on. If a
lamp in the instrument cluster fails to come
on when the ignition is switched on, have it
checked and replaced if necessary. If a lamp
in the instrument cluster remains on after
starting the engine or comes on while driving,
refer to “Lamps in instrument clus-
ter” (Y page 290).
If the SmartKey is left in starter switch posi-
tion 0 for an extended period of time, it can
no longer be turned in the starter switch. In
this case, the steering is locked. To unlock,
