10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped but the key cannot be removed until you obtain service. WARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector lever. Don't leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle. Locking Doors With The Key You can insert the key with either side up. To lock the door, turn the key rearward. To unlock the door, turn the key forward. See Section 7, Body Mechanism Lubrication of this manual for external lock lubrication. Key-In-Ignition Reminder Opening the driver's door when the key is in the ignition switch, sounds a signal to remind you to remove the key. NOTE: With the driver's door open, and the key in the ignition, the power door locks will not lock via the interior door lock switch. CAUTION! An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove key from the ignition and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
