Instruments and controls B START CAUTION Do not turn the ignition switch to the "START" position while the engine is running. 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. 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. J Ignition switch light For easy access to the ignition switch in the dark, the ignition switch light comes on when any of the doors (or the rear gate on the wagon) is opened. The light remains on for a several seconds and gradually goes out after all doors (and the rear gate on the wagon) are closed or if the key is inserted in the ignition switch. The ignition switch light also can be turned on by use of the keyless entry transmitter. See the "Keyless entry system" in chapter 2 for detailed information. - CONTINUED - 3-5
