IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions:
❒
STOP : engine off, key can be re-
moved, steering column locked.
Certain electrical devices (e.g.:
sound system, power windows…)
can work.
❒
MAR : driving position. All electri-
cal devices are powered.
❒
AVV : engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with a
safety mechanism that, in the event
the engine is not started, turns back
the ignition key to STOP before re-
peating the starting operation.
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engaging
When the key is to 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 .
fig. 12 L0C0054m
If the ignition device is
tampered with (e.g.: at-
tempted theft), have it checked over
by a Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
When getting out of the car,
always remove the key to
prevent any occupants from acci-
dentally activating the controls. Re-
member to engage the handbrake. If
the car is parked on uphill slope to
engage the first gear. If the car is
facing downhill, engage the reverse
gear. Never leave unsupervised chil-
dren in the car.
WARNING
Never remove the ignition
key while the car is mov-
ing. The steering wheel would au-
tomatically lock as soon as you try
to turn it. This also applies when
the car is being towed.
