Automatic Transmissions

In the LOCK position, the steering and ignition systems
are locked to provide antitheft protection for your ve-
hicle. It may be difficult to turn the key from the LOCK
position when starting your vehicle. Move the steering
wheel left and right while turning the key until it turns
easily. The key can be inserted or withdrawn only in the
LOCK position. Push in on the key in the ignition lock
cylinder to rotate to the LOCK position.

NOTE:

The steering wheel will the lock when the key is

removed, and the steering wheel is turned around 115
degrees from center clockwise and around 65 degrees
counter-clockwise.

NOTE:

On vehicles equipped with an automatic trans-

mission, the key cannot be turned to LOCK until the
selector is in the PARK position. Do not attempt to pull
the shift lever out of PARK after the key is in the LOCK
position.
