Ignition/starter switch with
steering lock
The steering is equipped with an anti-theft igni-
tion lock.
There are 4 switch positions:
0 - Steering locked. All electric circuits wired
through the ignition switch are turned off.
The ignition key can only be withdrawn in
the "0" position. The parking lights can be
operated in this position by pushing the
turn signal indicator lever up and down
(also see "Parking lights").

1 - Steering unlocked. In this position all
electric circuits are operational except for
the following: turn signals, back-up lights,
outside mirror remote control and rear win-
dow defogger/defroster.
2 - Ignition on, steering unlocked. All elec-
tric circuits are operational. With the en-
gine stationary, all warning lights will light
up for a bulb check.
To conserve battery power at low rpm
(traffic jams, town driving etc.), switch off
al electrical consumers which are not
needed at that moment.
3 - The starter is operated by turning the ig-
nition key to the right. As soon as the en-
gine starts, release the key. It will spring
back to position "2". With the engine run-
ning, the warning lights should go out ex-
cept the warning light for the stop lamp,
which will go out after depressing the
brake pedal and the park brake light after
fully releasing the parking brake.
To conserve battery power, the electric cir-
cuits for headlights, rear window defog-
ger/defroster and wiper/washer system
are temporarily interrupted during the
starting process.
The starter should not be operated for more
than 10 to 15 seconds at a time. If the engine
does not start the first time or stalls at any
time, the ignition key must be returned to the
"0" position. The non-repeat lock in the switch
prevents the starter from being operated when
the engine is running and thus from being dam-
aged.
To remove the key and to lock the steer-
ing, turn the key back to position "0" and pull it
out. Turn the steering wheel until it locks.
Note
On vehicles with Automatic transmission it
is only possible to remove the ignition key
if the selector lever is in position "P".
WARNING
Never remove key from ignition lock or turn
key off while vehicle is moving. The steering
wheel will lock, causing loss of control.
Gong
If you leave the key in the ignition/steering lock,
the gong will sound when the driver's door is
opened. This is a reminder to remove the key.
