Steering/Ignition Lock - BMW M COUPE Manual

Steering/Ignition lock

0 Steering lock engaged
This is the only position in which the
ignition key can be inserted and re-
moved.
An acoustic warning sounds when you
fail to remove the ignition key after
opening the driver's door.
After removing the key, turn the steer-
ing wheel slightly to the left or right until
you hear the lock engage.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with an inter-
lock. This means that the ignition key
can not be turned to position 0 and re-
moved until the selector lever is in posi-
tion "P."
Furthermore, the selector lever is
locked in position "P" when the ignition
key is in position 0 or removed from the
ignition switch.
To turn the key back to position 0 or to
remove it, first move the selector lever
to position "P."

You will often find that it is easier to turn

help disengage the detent.

All electrical equipment and accesso-
ries are available for use.
