When you switch on the ignition, the in-
dicator and warning lamps (except low
beam headlamp indicator lamp, high
beam headlamp indicator lamp, and
turn signal indicator lamps unless acti-
vated) in the instrument cluster come
on. The indicator and warning lamps
(except low beam headlamp indicator
lamp, high beam headlamp indicator
lamp, and turn signal indicator lamps if
activated) should go out when the en-
gine is running. This indicates that the
respective systems are operational.

The SmartKey can only be removed
from the starter switch with the gear
selector lever in position P.
!
If the SmartKey cannot be turned in the
starter switch, the starter battery may
not be sufficiently charged.
Check the battery and charge it if
necessary ( page 429).
Get a jump start ( page 456).
To prevent accelerated battery dis-
charge or a completely discharged bat-
tery, always remove the SmartKey from
the starter switch when the engine is
not in operation.
For information on starting the engine
using the SmartKey, see "Starting with the
SmartKey" ( page 50).
