SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL
Steering lock
The steering lock makes steering difficult if the
car is e.g. taken unlawfully. A mechanical noise
can be perceived when the steering lock locks
or unlocks.
Activating the steering lock
The steering lock is activated when the car is
locked from the outside and the engine is
switched off. If the car is left unlocked then the
steering lock will lock automatically after a while.
Deactivating the steering lock
The steering lock is deactivated when the car is
unlocked from outside. If the car is not locked,
the steering lock will deactivate if the remote
control key is inside the passenger compartment
and the car is started by turning the start knob
clockwise to unlock the steering lock.
