electrical functions operative at position 'l', will drop out whilst
the engine is being cranked.

without the engine running. Although the engine ignition system
itself draws no current when the engine is stopped, a battery
drain will occur through other circuits even when auxiliary
equipment is not being used.
For security reasons, and to guard against battery drain, al-
ways remove the key when leaving the car.
WARNING
• Do not push or tow the car unless the key is first used to
unlock the steering column and is then left in the lock.
Withdrawing the key will cause the steering to lock.
• Never remove the key from the ignition switch or turn off
the ignition while the car is moving. Withdrawing the key
will cause the steering to lock and may cause an accident
resulting in serious injury or death.
• To reduce the risk of theft, or danger to a child remaining in
the car, always remove the key when leaving a parked car.
