Instruments and controls when the selector lever is in the "P" position. B Manual transmission vehicles J ACC In this position the electrical accessories (radio, cigarette lighter, etc.) can be used. J ON This is the normal operating position after the engine is started. J START The engine is started in this position. The starter cranks the engine to start it. When the key is released (after the engine has started), the key automatically returns to the "ON" position. OM-H0144 The key can be turned from "ACC" to "LOCK" only when the key is pushed in while turning it. CAUTION Do not turn the ignition switch to the "START" position while the engine is running. WARNING Never turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" while the vehicle is being driven or towed because that will lock the steering wheel, preventing steering control. And when the engine is turned off, it takes a much greater effort than usual to steer. J Key reminder chime The reminder chime sounds when the driver's door opens and the key is in the "LOCK" or "ACC" positions. The chime stops when the key is removed from the ignition switch. - CONTINUED - 3-3
