WARNING
Apply the parking brake if the shift lever
is in any position while the engine is
not running. Failure to do so could
cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly
or roll away and result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF or
ACC position for any reason while the shift lever
is in any positions other than the P (Park), the
ignition switch cannot be placed in the LOCK

2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position
