Ignition Control
To access vehicle functions and to start the engine the vehicle key
must be inserted in to the ignition control.
Warning: Only use the vehicle key in the ignition control. Do
not place any objects, including fingers, into the ignition control
other than the vehicle key. Objects other than the vehicle key
may cause the ignition control to fail.
The vehicle key must only be inserted
into the ignition control with the two
indents first, as shown. Attempting to
insert the larger end of the key first may
damage the ignition control.
Position ‘0’ (Ignition OFF)
Auxiliaries OFF (audio, satellite navigation, hands-free phone not
available), steering lock ON. Seats can be adjusted.
Gently insert the vehicle key, indents first, into
the ignition control. Press in until the key clicks
into place, approximately 0.75 inch (A) then
release. The key is docked at this point.
Remove by pulling the vehicle key from the
ignition control.

Preventing Unnecessary Battery Drain
If the vehicle key is left in the ignition control (position ‘0’), some
vehicle circuits will stay ON and unnecessary current will be drawn
from the battery.
Always remove the vehicle key from the ignition control whenever
the ignition is set to OFF.
