START
Turn the ignition key to the START position to start the
engine. The engine will crank until you release the key,
then it returns to the ON position. Also, the brake
warning indicator illuminates to check the bulb in this
position.
Difficulty in turning the ignition key to the START posi-
tion can be caused by pressure on the switch from the
steering column. To allow the ignition key to turn,
move the steering wheel right or left to release the ten-
sion and then turn the key.
Automatic Transaxle
When turning the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, the shift lever must be in the P (Park) position.
Manual Transaxle
When turning the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, push the key inward at the ACC position and turn
the key toward the LOCK position.

WARNING
• Never turn the ignition switch to LOCK or
ACC while the vehicle is moving. This could
result in loss of directional control and
braking function, which could cause an
immediate accident.
• Never reach for the ignition switch, or any
other controls, through the steering wheel
while the vehicle is in motion. Failure to
observe this warning can result in loss of
vehicle steering and braking control, which
may result in an accident.
✽
NOTICE
For safety, the engine will not start if the
clutch pedal is not depressed fully on manual
transaxle equipped models.
