Steering/Ignition Lock - BMW 528I Owner's Manual

Steering/Ignition lock

0 Steering lock engaged
This is the only position in which the
ignition key can be inserted and
removed.
After removing the key, turn the steer-
ing wheel slightly to the left or right until
you hear the lock engage.
An acoustic warning sounds when you
fail to remove the ignition key after
opening the driver's door.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Do not move the selector lever from
position "P" until the engine is running
(ignition key position 2).
Your vehicle is equipped with an inter-
lock. Therefore, the ignition key cannot
be turned to position 0 and removed
until the selector lever is in position "P"
(Interlock).
1 Steering lock disengaged
You will find that it is often easier to turn
the ignition key from position 0 to posi-
tion 1 when you move the steering
wheel slightly to help disengage the
lock.
2 Ignition on
All electrical equipment and accesso-
ries are available for use.
3 Starting the engine
Vehicles with manual transmis-
sion:
Step on the clutch when starting the
vehicle. If you do not, a lock prevents
the engine from starting.<
