WARNING
Never turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position while driving. The steering wheel
will lock. This may cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle and could result in se-
rious vehicle damage or personal injury.
The ignition lock is designed so that the
ignition switch cannot be turned to the
LOCK position and removed until the se-
lector lever is moved to the P (Park) posi-
tion.
When turning the ignition switch, make
sure the selector lever is in the P position.
If the selector lever is not returned to the
P position, the ignition switch cannot be
moved toward the LOCK position.
When the ignition switch cannot be
turned toward the LOCK position when
the Intelligent Key is in range, proceed as
follows:
1. Move the selector lever into the P po-
sition.
2. Turn the ignition switch slightly in the
ON direction.
3. Turn the key toward the LOCK posi-
tion.
The selector lever can be moved from P po-
sition if the ignition switch is in the ON po-
sition and the foot brake pedal is de-
pressed.
There is an OFF position
q
C
in between
LOCK and ACC, although it does not show
on the lock cylinder. When the ignition is
in OFF the steering wheel is not locked.
In order for the steering wheel to be
locked, it must be turned about 1/6 of a
turn counterclockwise from the straight
up position.
To lock the steering wheel, turn the igni-
tion switch to the LOCK position. To unlock
the steering wheel, push the ignition
switch in and turn it gently while rotating
the steering wheel slightly right and left.
If the battery of the vehicle equipped with
the Intelligent Key system is discharged,
