124) Before servicing the vehicle, switch off  
the engine and remove the key from the  
ignition switch to activate the steering lock.  
This is especially important when the  
vehicle wheels are not touching the  
ground. If this is not possible (for example if  
the key needs to be turned to MAR or the  
engine must be running), remove the  
main fuse that protects the electric power  
steering.

manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,

normal and is due to the intervention

vehicle is used again later on,
