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 297).
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,
remove SmartKey from the starter switch and
reinsert.
The steering is locked when the SmartKey is
removed from the starter switch.

Safety notes
G
Warning!
In order to avoid possible loss of vehicle
control all seat, head restraint, steering
wheel, and rear view mirror adjustments, as
well as fastening of seat belts, must be
done before the vehicle is put into motion.
G
Warning!
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
Adjusting the seat while driving could cause
the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in an excessively reclined position
as this can be dangerous. You could slide
under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide
under it, the seat belt would apply force at
the abdomen or neck. That could cause
serious or fatal injuries. The seat backrest
and seat belts provide the best restraint
when the wearer is in a position that is as
upright as possible and seat belts are prop-
erly positioned on the body.
