DO NOT lubricate the steering lock/switch.
To switch on the ignition, insert the key in the steering lock and turn to the
position marked 'FAHRT' or
'11'.
To operate the starter, turn the key against spring resistance to the 'START' or
'111'
position.
If
the engine does not start, release the key and allow a short
pause before re-operating the starter.
Ignition warning light (red). The warning lamp
(1)
fitted in the tachometer serves
the dual purpose of reminding the driver to switch off the ignition and of acting
as a no-charge indicator.*
Early cars
The ignition and starter are both controlled by
a
single switch operated by a
removable key. To switch on the ignition insert the key and turn it in a clockwise
direction until a slight resistance is felt. Further movement in the same direction
operates the starter motor. Release the key immediately the engine starts.
To operate the auxiliary electrical services when the car is parked without the
necessity of loading the ignition circuit or starting the engine, turn the ignition
key in an anti-clockwise direction. The heater blower motor, windscreen wipers,
and the radio may then be operated by switching on the appropriate switch.
The key can only be withdrawn when the switch is in the 'off' position.
