Steering wheel and gear shifting

Lock of ignition and steering column
LOCK (0) Ignition is switched off, the steering wheel is blocked (at the taken-out key), electric devices are not efficient.
ACC (I) The steering wheel is blocked, electric devices are efficient.
ON (II) The steering wheel is unblocked, electric devices are efficient.
START (III) Provision of start

If the ignition key does not turn, move a steering wheel here and there, and at the same time turn a key in situation "ON (II)".

  • Do not turn during the movement the ignition key in situation "LOCK (0)" or "ACC (I)" at all.
  • The lock of a steering wheel cannot replace the emergency brake. Switch off the engine, install the lever of an automatic box (if the automatic machine is installed) in situation "P" (parking) and tighten the emergency brake before leaving the car.
  • Never undertake a key at start through a steering wheel as there is a danger of a trauma if the steering wheel suddenly turns.

Do not leave the ignition key in situation "ON (II)" at the switched-off engine as at the same time the battery is discharged.

Lighting of the lock of ignition (if is available)

To facilitate an ignition key insert in the dark, when opening a driver's door lighting of the lock of ignition is lit.

Lighting of the lock of ignition is switched off after closing of a door after a while.
