IGNITION SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE
178
Ignition switch
(petrol engine)
If the hands of all instruments and pointers move slightly
when you turn the key to the "ACC", "ON" or "START"
position, this is not a fault.
WARNING
For manual transmission:
Never remove the key while driving, as this will
lock the steering wheel and prevent the vehicle
from being driven.
NOTICE
"START" ÿ Starting the engine. The key will return
to the "ON" position when released.
Do not leave the key in the "ON" position if the
engine is not running. It will drain the battery and
could damage the ignition.
Engine starting instructions - see page 303 in Chapter 3.
"ON" ÿ Engine is on and all accessories are on.
This is the normal driving position.
"ACC" ÿ Accessories such as the radio are working
but the engine is off.
If you leave the key in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position and
open the driver's door, a buzzer will alert you to remove
the key.
"LOCK" ÿ The engine is switched off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can only be removed in this
position.
For vehicles with automatic transmission, the selector
lever must be moved to the "P" position before turning
the key from the "ACC" position to the "LOCK" position.
Vehicles with an engine immobilizer system ÿ The engine
immobilizer system is automatically set when the key is
removed. (See "Engine Immobilizer System" on page 18
in Chapter 1ÿ2.)
When starting the engine, it may seem that the key is
stuck in the "LOCK" position. To release it, first make
sure it is fully engaged, then turn the steering wheel
slightly alternately while gently turning the key.
