Steering lock engaged

The key can only be inserted and
removed in this position.

After removing the key, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the left or right
until you hear the lock engage.

Once the ignition has been switched off
(ignition key in position 0 or removed),
the radio functions are still available for
approx. 20 minutes. Turn the radio back
on to use it.

An acoustic warning is sounded when
you fail to remove the ignition key after
opening the driver's door.

Vehicles with automatic trans-
mission:

Do not move the selector lever from the
"Park" position until the engine is
running (ignition key in position 2).
In order to turn the key to position 0 or
to remove it, first move the selector
lever to the "Park" position (Interlock).

Steering lock disengaged

You will find that it is often easier to turn
the ignition key from position 0 to posi-
tion 1 when you move the steering
wheel slightly to help disengage the
lock.
Individual electrical devices are ready
for operation.

Starting the engine

Vehicles with manual transmis-
sion: depress the clutch when

starting the engine. If you do not, a lock
prevents the engine from starting.

Before starting

Engage the parking brake

Be sure that the gearshift lever is in
"Neutral" (or the selector lever in
"Park" if the vehicle is equipped with
an automatic transmission)

Depress the clutch pedal.

Do not allow the engine to run in
enclosed spaces. The exhaust

gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless and colorless, but highly toxic
gas. Breathing the exhaust gases poses
an extreme health risk, and can lead to
unconsciousness and death.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended
with the engine running. An unattended
vehicle with a running engine repre-
sents a potential safety hazard.
