Key In the Ignition Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you leave the key in the ignition and park your vehicle, a chime will sound, when you open the driver's door. Always remember to remove the key from the ignition and take it with you. This will lock the ignition and transmission. Also, always remember to lock the doors. The battery could be drained if you leave the key in the ignition while your vehicle is parked. You may not be able to start your vehicle after it has been parked for an extended period of time. Key Release Button (Manual Transmission) The key cannot be removed from the ignition of a manual transmission vehicle, unless the key release button is used. To remove the key, do the following: 1. Turn the key to ACCESSORY. 2. Press and release the button and then turn the key to OFF. Do not hold the button in while turning the key to OFF. 3. Pull the key straight out of the ignition switch. 113
