10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Obtaining Replacement Keys Your vehicle is equipped with a theft deterrent locking system requiring a special key manufacturing process. For security reasons, replacement keys can only be obtained from your authorized dealer. Important! Removing the key from the steering lock activates the start lock-out. The engine cannot be started. Turning the key in the steering lock to the ON/RUN position deactivates the start lock-out. NOTE: In case the engine cannot be started, and START and ERROR are shown in the odometer display field, the system is not operational. Contact an authorized dealer. Ignition Key Removal Turn the key to the LOCK position and remove the key. NOTE: For vehicles with automatic transmissions, if you try to remove the key before you place the shift lever in PARK, the key may become trapped temporarily in the key cylinder. If this occurs, turn the key clockwise slightly, then remove the key as described. Key-In-Ignition Reminder Opening the driver's door when the key is in the ignition sounds a signal to remind you to remove the key.
