Ignition Switch - Lancia Lybra Owner's Handbook Manual

IGNITION SWITCH

The key can be turned to four posi-
tions (fig. 2).
STOP: engine off, key can be re-
moved, steering column locked. Some
electrical devices can be worked (e.g.
sound system).
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices can be worked.
AVV: engine ignition.
PARK: engine off, parking lights on,
key can be removed, steering column
locked. To turn the key to PARK,
press button A.
If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to steal
your car), get a Lancia Dealership
to make sure it is still functioning
properly before you start driving
again.

Always remove the igni-
tion key when you get out
of the car. This will pre-
vent anyone from accidentally
working the controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake and, if the
car is faced down on a steep slope
engage the first gear. If it is facing
up, engage the reverse gear.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK
To engage the lock: remove the ig-
nition key at STOP or PARK and
turn the steering wheel until it locks.
To release the lock: rock the steer-
ing wheel slightly as you turn the ig-
nition key to MAR.
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g.: instal-
lation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance
and safety, cause the lapse of war-
ranty and also result in non-com-
pliance of the car with homologa-
tion requirements.
Never remove the ignition
key while the car is mov-
ing. The steering wheel
would automatically lock as soon
as you try to turn it. This also ap-
plies when the car is being towed.
