III – Start position
The starter motor is engaged.
When the remote control key
is released it springs back
automatically to the driving
position, once the engine has
started.
A ticking sound may be heard if the key is
between positions. Turn the remote control key
to position II and back to eliminate the sound.
When the steering lock is activated
If the front wheels are positioned so that there
is tension in the steering lock, a warning mes-
sage may be shown on the information display
and the car prohibited from starting.
1. Remove the remote control key from the
ignition switch and turn the steering wheel
so that the tension is released.
2. Hold the steering wheel in this position.
Reinsert the key and make a new attempt
to start the car.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch while driving or when the
car is being towed. The steering lock would
be activated, making it impossible to steer
the car.
WARNING
Always remove the remote control key from
the ignition switch when leaving the car,
especially if there are children in the car.
Make sure the steering lock is activated when
the car is left to reduce the risk of theft.
Remote control keys and electronic
immobiliser
The remote control key must not hang with
other keys or metal objects on the same key
ring. The electronic immobiliser could be acti-
vated accidentally.
