Warning
- (1) Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehicle is moving, as the steering column will lock, which could result in loss of control and damage to the vehicle or injury to passengers.
- (2) Driving with the engine off is dangerous as the braking distance increases and more force is required on the brake pedal, which could lead to an accident. It also takes more force to turn the steering wheel.
- (3) To prevent battery discharge when the engine is off, do not leave the key in the ignition switch in the ON position for a long time.
- (4) Do not turn the key in the ignition switch to the START position while the engine is running, otherwise the starter may be damaged.
