Summary
WHEN PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON, THE IGNITION MAY NOT TURN OFF ON SOME VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A GATE TYPE AT SHIFTER. ALTHOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN Ƃā€œPƂā€ POSITION AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF NORMALLY, THE IGNITION MAY STAY ON (IN ACCESSORY MODE). THIS CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED BY A WORN SWITCH UNIT. TO ELIMINATE THIS CONCERN, THE SWITCH UNIT MATERIAL HAS BEEN CHANGED TO IMPROVE WEAR RESISTANCE. MODIFIED SWITCH UNITS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED AS NEW SERVICE PARTS.
