Hyundai Santa Cruz: Ignition Switch / Key Ignition Switch
![](images/key_ignition_switch-1554/1344/pages.5(3).jpg)
[A] : LOCK, [B] : ACC, [C] : ON, [D] : START
Whenever the front door is opened, the
ignition switch will illuminate, provided
the ignition switch is not in the ON
position. The light will go off immediately
when the ignition switch is turned on or
go off after about 30 seconds when the
door is closed. (if equipped)
WARNING
- NEVER turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK or ACC position while the
vehicle is in motion except in an
emergency.
- This will result in the engine turning
off and loss of power assist for the
steering and brake systems. This may
lead to loss of directional control and
braking function, which could cause
an accident.
- Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever is in
P (Park, for automatic transmission
vehicle) position, apply the parking
brake, and turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK position.
Unexpected vehicle movement may
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
NOTICE
Never use aftermarket keyhole covers.
This may generate start-up failure due
to communication failure.
