A buzzer sounds if the driver's door is opened while the engine switch is in
the "LOCK" or "ACC" position to remind you to remove the key.

Always start the engine while sitting in the driver's seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
