IMPORTANT The remote controller is
a sensitive electronic instrument. To avoid
damaging the remote controller:
❒ Do not expose it to impacts, moisture
or high temperature such as on the
dashboard under direct sunlight.
❒ Keep the remote controller away from
magnetic objects such as a television.
You can also turn the ignition switch by
inserting the ignition key into the slot.
If you leave any of the doors open with the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position for
a while (and no key inserted), the engine
may not start when you turn the ignition
switch to “START”. If the engine does not
start, close all doors completely or turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK”
position, then start the engine.
The ignition switch has the following four
positions:
ACC (2)
Accessories such as the radio can oper-
ate, but the engine is off.
ON (3)
This is the normal operating position. All
electrical systems are on.
START (4)
This is the position for starting the engine
using the starter motor. The switch should
be released from this position as soon as
the engine starts.
Ignition switch reminder
(When using the keyless start system)
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to return the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position if it is in the “ACC” po-
sition when the driver’s door is opened.
LOCK (1)
This is the normal parking position. It is
the only position in which the key can be
removed. It locks the ignition, and pre-
vents normal use of the steering wheel.
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto-
matic transaxle key inter lock system, the
ignition switch can be turned to the
“LOCK” position only when the gearshift
lever is in the “P” (Park) position.
To release the steering lock, turn the ig-
nition switch clockwise to one of the oth-
er positions. If you have trouble turning
the ignition switch to unlock the steer-
ing, try turning the steering wheel slightly
to the right or left while turning the
switch.
Manual transaxle vehicle
You must push in the ignition switch to
turn it from the “LOCK” position to the
“ACC” position. To return to the
“LOCK” position from the “ACC” posi-
tion, turn the ignition switch counter-
clockwise while pushing in the switch.
Automatic transaxle vehicle
To turn the ignition switch, push the
switch.
