Switching the engine off
F Immobilise the vehicle.
F With the engine at idle, turn the key fully
towards you to position 1 (Stop).
F Remove the key from the ignition switch.
F To lock the steering column, turn the
steering wheel until it locks.
To facilitate unlocking of the steering
column, put the front wheels in the
straight ahead position before switching
the ignition off.
F Ensure that the parking brake is applied
correctly, particularly when on a slope.
Never switch the ignition off until the
vehicle has come to a complete stop
and the parking brake has been applied.

steering assistance systems are also cut
off: risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, take the
key with you and lock the vehicle.
