'08 Rav4_U (L/O 0802) Engine (ignition) switch "LOCK"-Engine is off and the steering wheel is locked. The key can be removed only at this position. You must push in the key to turn the engine switch from the "ACC" to "LOCK" position. The selector lever must be in the "P" position before pushing the key. Vehicles with engine immobilizer system-Once you remove the key, the engine immobilizer system is automatically set. (See "Engine immobilizer system" on page 15 in Section 1 −2.) "START"-Starter motor on. The key will return to the "ON" position when released. For starting tips, see page 341 in Section 3. "ON"-Engine on and all accessories on. This is the normal driving position. "ACC"-Accessories such as the radio operate, but the engine is off. If you leave the engine switch in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position and open the driver's door, a buzzer will remind you to remove the key. When starting the engine, the engine switch may seem stuck at the "LOCK" position. To free it, first be sure the key is pushed all the way in, and then rotate the steering wheel slightly while turning the key gently. Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from under the floor around the driver's seat for several minutes. This is normal operation and does not indicate a malfunction. (See "Leak detection pump" on page ix.) It is not a malfunction if the needle on all meters and gauges move slightly when the engine switch is turned to the "ON" or "START" position. NOTICE Do not leave the engine switch in the "ON" position if the engine is not running. The battery will discharge and the ignition could be damaged. 142 2008 RAV4 from Feb. '08 Prod. (OM42726U)
