3-4
Instruments and controls
(radio, accessory power outlet, etc.) can
be used.
„ ON
This is the normal operating position after
the engine is started.
„ START
The engine is started in this position. The
starter cranks the engine to start it. When
the key is released (after the engine has
started), the key automatically returns to
the “ON” position.
If your registered key fails to start the en-
gine, pull out the key once (the security in-
dicator light will blink), and then insert the
key in the ignition switch and turn it to the
“START” position and again try to start the
engine.
NOTE
The engine may not start in the follow-
ing cases:
y The key grip is touching another key
or a metallic key holder.
y The key is near another key that con-
tains an immobilizer transponder.
„ Key reminder chime
The reminder chime sounds when the
driver’s door opens and the key is in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” positions. The chime
stops when the key is removed from the
ignition switch.
„ Ignition switch light
For easy access to the ignition switch in
the dark, the ignition switch light comes on
when any of the doors are opened. The
light remains on for a several seconds and
gradually goes out after all doors are
closed or if the key is inserted in the igni-
tion switch.
Do not turn the ignition switch to the
“START” position while the engine
is running.
