IGNITION SWITCH

The key can be turned to 3 different po-

sitions:

❒

STOP: engine off, key can be removed,

steering column locked. Certain elec-

trical devices (e.g.: sound system, cen-

tral door locking, electronic alarm, etc.)

can work.

❒

MAR: driving position. All electrical de-

vices are powered.

❒

AVV: engine starting.

The ignition switch is fitted with a safety

mechanism that, in the event the engine is

not started, compels the driver to turn the

ignition key back to STOP before re-

peating the starting operation.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

Engaging

When the key is at STOP remove the

key and turn the steering wheel until it

locks.

Disengaging

Rock the steering wheel slightly as you

turn the ignition key to MAR.

market operation involving steering

gation requirements.

key while the car is moving.

The steering wheel would automati-

cally lock as soon as you try to turn

it. This also applies when the car is
