Leaving the driver's seat without putting the ignition switch in LOCK position, setting the parking brake and the shift lever is in P is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle movement could occur. This could cause an accident. NOTE l NOTE When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the sound of the fuel pump motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an abnormality. START The engine is started in this position. It will crank until you release the start knob; then it returns to the ON position. The brake warning light can be checked after the engine is started (page 5-38). Starting the engine NOTE l l l If turning the ignition switch is difficult, jiggle the steering wheel from side to side. The ignition switch cannot be turned from the ACC position to the LOCK position when the shift lever is not in P. l ACC (Accessory) The steering wheel unlocks and some electrical accessories will operate. NOTE The Advanced Keyless Entry System does not function in the ACC position, and the doors will not lock/unlock using the transmitter or request switches even if the advanced key is carried away from the vehicle. Engine-starting is controlled by the spark ignition system. This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio noise. The advanced key must be carried because the advanced key carries an immobilizer chip that must communicate with the engine controls at short range. When starting the engine, be sure the start knob is securely attached before trying to operate it. If the knob becomes detached from the ignition switch, re-attach it by pushing it on to the ignition switch. ON This is the normal running position after the engine is started. The warning lights (except brakes) should be inspected before the engine is started (page 5-38). 3-10 Form No.8X59-EA-07E
