malfunction:
-
The tone alarm does not stop sounding when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position.
-
The tone alarm does not stop sounding when the ignition key is removed.
-
The tone alarm does not sound when the ignition key is inserted (turned to the "OFF" position) and the driver's door is opened.
The ignition key hole illumination light timer illuminates the ignition switch for certain conditions. If any of the following symptoms occur, there is a
malfunction:
-
The ignition key hole illumination light does not go off.

Ignition key reminder tone alarm
The ignition key reminder tone alarm will sound under the following condition, and warn the driver to remove the ignition key.
The driver's door is opened when the ignition switch is at "LOCK" (OFF) or "ACC" position. However, the light reminder tone alarm will take
precedence over this function.
