CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
STEERING LOCK/ IGNITION/ STARTER SWITCH
42
The steering is equipped with an anti-
theft ignition lock.
Switch positions
1. - Ignition off/steering can be locked.
Pull out the key and turn steering
wheel until it locks.
WARNING
§
This position only locks the
steering wheel and not the shift
control lever. Sudden and unexpected
vehicle movement may occur if the
shift control lever is moved out of P
(Park) (automatic transmission) or out
of gear (manual transmission) and the
parking brake is not firmly set.
§
Never remove key from steering
lock or turn key off white the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel will lock,
causing loss of control.
2. - Ignition on/steering free. If it is
difficult to turn the key from position 1
to 2, gently move the steering wheel
until the key turns freely.
3. - Starter engages.
4. - Key returns to position 2 as soon as
it is released.
"Starting procedures" see following
pages.
In position 3, the power supply to
headlights, windshield wipers, blower
motor and rear window defogger is
temporarily interrupted to conserve
battery power.
Before the starter can be operated again
the key must be turned back to position 1.
The non-repeat lock in the ignition switch
prevents the starter from being operated
when engine is running as this could
damage the starter.
In position 2 and 3 several warning/
indicator lights will come on. Refer to
"Warning/indicator lights" for details.
Chime
If you leave the key in the ignition/
steering lock, the chime will sound when
the driver's door is opened. This is your
reminder to remove the key.
