STARTING AND DRIVING If you leave the key in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position and open the driver's door, a buzzer will remind you to remove the key. PARKING BRAKE "LOCK" - Engine is off and the steering wheel is locked. The ignition key can be removed only at this position. To turn the key from "ACC" to the "LOCK" position, you must put the transmission selector lever in the "P" position. When starting the engine, the key may seem stuck at the "LOCK" position.

If, in an emergency, you must turn the engine off while the vehicle is moving, turn the key only to "ACC". To set: Fully depress the parking brake pedal. To release: Pull the parking brake release lever. Before leaving your vehicle, firmly apply the parking brake. ! CAUTION Before driving, make sure the parking brake is fully released and that the parking brake reminder light is off. 129
