STARTER SWITCH

Starting & Driving
DO NOT remove the key or turn the starter switch to position
'0', while the car is in motion. This will cause the steering lock
to engage and make it impossible to steer the car.
The starter switch uses the following sequence of key positions to
operate the steering lock, electrical circuits and starter motor:
'0' - Steering locked
With the key removed, the steering column will be locked
and most electrical circuits are non-operational.
'I' - Steering unlocked
Turn the switch to position 'I' to unlock the steering. The audio
system and cigar lighter can now be operated.
Starting & Driving
'II' - Electrical circuits on
With the switch in position 'II', all instruments, lights and
electrical circuits are operational.
'III' - Starter motor operates
Turn the switch to position 'III' to operate the starter motor;
release the key as soon as the engine starts (the key will
automatically return to position 'II').
Unlocking the steering
After inserting the key, a small movement of the steering wheel
while turning the starter switch to the first position will help to
disengage the steering lock.
Locking the steering
After removing the key, turn the steering wheel towards the kerb
until the lock engages.
