Mitsubishi Eclipse. Technical Information Manual (1994) — part 87

EQUIPMENT Ignition Switch

The ignition key push type double-action ignition
switch is installed that prevents the steering wheel
from being locked up as a result of the ignition key
being inadvertently removed from the key cylinder
while the vehicle is in motion. This contributes to
greater safety.
For additional convenience, an ignition switch
mination light has been adopted which is lit at night

for approximately 10 seconds by the timer function
of the ETACS-ECU so that the ignition key can be
easily inserted.

NOTE
For the timer function of the ignition switch illumina-

tion light, refer to the section on the ETACS-ECU
on

IGNITION KEY PUSH TYPE DOUBLE-ACTION IGNITION SWITCH <M/T>

A double-action lever has been provided in the steer-
ing lock cylinder, and a raceway for orbital motion
of the double-action lever and an ACC position stop-
per provided in the key cylinder to make sure that

the ignition key cannot be removed unless the driver

rotates it to the LOCK position, while pushing the
key in.

OPERATION

With the ignition key not pushed in (at the ACC position)
The key cylinder is locked by the double-action lever pressed
against the ACC position stopper. Therefore, the ignition key
cannot be rotated from the ACC position to the LOCK position.

With the ignition key pushed in (at the ACC position)
The key cylinder is forced into the steering lock cylinder, and
the double-action lever is moved away from the ACC position
stopper. The double-action lever can now move along the race-
way, so the ignition key can be rotated to the LOCK position.

EQUIPMENT Lighting

The headlight system is a thin, flush-surfaced,

type with on-board aiming mechanism. The

headlight is a multi-reflector design in which the
light rays from the bulb are directed by the

stepped reflector. The front turn signal light and
the front position light are combined with the
light to form one headlight unit.
The front side marker lights are mounted on the
front bumper.

The LED (Light Emitting Diode) type high-mounted
stop light is used on rear spoiler equipped vehicles,
while the bulb type is installed on the vehicles not
equipped with rear spoiler. The dome light of vehicles
with a sunroof is incorporated in the inside rear
view mirror.
