IGNITION SWITCH fig. 7
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions:
❒
STOP
: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. sound
system, central door locking system,
etc.) can operate.
❒
MAR – ON
: driving position.
All electrical devices can operate.
❒
AVV
: engine starting.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that forces the driver to return
the ignition key to
STOP
before
repeating the starting operation,
if the engine does not start up.
Never extract the key
while the vehicle is moving.
The steering wheel would
automatically lock as soon as you
try to turn it. This holds true for
vehicles being towed as well.
It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out whatever after-market
operation involving steering system
or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect
performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the car
with homologation requirements.
