self-locking mechanism
"Ⅲ"——Start the starter. After released,
the key will return to position "II".
For the starting method, refer to Section 3.
" Ⅱ " — — Start engine operation and
powering all accessory electric appliances.
This is the position for normal driving.
"Ⅰ"——Accessory apparatuses, e.g. the
radio, can operate, but the engine stops.
"0"——The engine stops and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be taken off
only when in this position.
The key can be turned from position "I"
to "0" only after pressed in.
In engine startup, the key seems to be
caught in position "0". To release it, first
make sure it is completely inserted in and
then rotating the steering wheel when
turning the key.
When the ignition key is turned to position
"III", "I" or "0", if dials of the
speedometer and the tachometer returns to
the bottom or only swing a little, faults are
indicated.
Friendly Tips
It is forbidden to take the key
out in driving; otherwise, the steering
wheel will be locked and the steering
operation will go out of control.
