Starting the car
Instead of an ignition key, the car has an
ignition dial. The dial is used in the same way
as the key. The only difference is that to start
the car, either the clutch pedal (manual
gearbox car) or brake pedal (automatic
gearbox car) must be depressed. This is a
safety measure.
For the car to start, the car's passive remote
control/key must be in the passenger or
cargo area.

Ignition dial or ignition key
The car can be started with the dial or with
the key.
To remove the ignition dial:
Push in the catch and pull out the dial.
