Ignition Switch

GENERAL

IGNITION SWITCH




- The ignition switches on the MT models have a safety mechanism that prevents inadvertent locking of the steering wheel during driving. The driver cannot turn the ignition key from "ACC" to "LOCK" unless the key is pushed inward at the "ACC" position (arrow 1 in the drawing).




- The ignition key for AT models can be turned to the LOCK position only when the select lever is in the P position.

KEY REMINDER CHIME
The reminder chime sounds when the driver's door opens and the ignition key is in the "LOCK" or "ACC" position. The chime stops when the key is turned to the IGN position or removed from the ignition switch.

IGNITION SWITCH ILLUMINATION
The ignition switch illumination is lit for 3 seconds and then gradually darkens and turns off after the driver's door is closed. If the ignition switch is turned to the ON position while the ignition switch illumination is ON, the ignition switch illumination turns OFF immediately. The body integrated unit controls the delayed off function.
