If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the shift lever must also be in Park. The anti-theft lock will lock the steering column when you remove the key. If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft lock may sometimes make it difficult to turn the key from LOCK to ACCESSORY. Firmly turn the steering wheel to the left or to the right as you turn the key. START (III) Use this position only to start the engine. The switch returns to ON (II) when you let go of the key.
