Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

The ignition lock is designed so that the ignition switch cannot be turned to the LOCK position until the selector lever is moved to the P (Park) position.

- When turning the ignition switch to the LOCK position, make sure that the selector lever is in the P (Park) position.

- When removing the key from the ignition switch (if it is inserted), make sure that the selector lever is in the P (Park) position.

When the ignition switch cannot be turned to the LOCK position:
1. The SHIFT P warning (if so equipped) appears on the vehicle information display and a chime sounds.

2. Move the selector lever to the P (Park) position.

3. Turn the ignition switch slightly in the ON direction.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

5. Remove the key, if it is inserted in the ignition switch.

If the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position, the selector lever cannot be moved from the P (Park) position. The selector lever can be moved if the ignition switch is in the ON position with the foot brake pedal depressed.

The OFF position 1 is between the LOCK and ACC positions, although it is not marked on the ignition switch.
