STARTER SWITCH
DO NOT remove the key or turn the starter switch off while
the car is in motion; this will cause the steering lock to engage,
making it impossible to steer the car.
The starter switch is located to the right of the steering column and
uses the following sequence of key positions to operate the steering
lock, electrical circuits and starter motor:
Position O
• Key can be removed
• Steering is locked.
• Most lighting circuits are operational, including sidelights,
headlights and hazard warning lights.
Position 1
• Steering unlocked.
• Individual electrical equipment and accessories can now be
operated.
Position 2
• All instruments, warning lights and electrical circuits are
operational.
Position 3
• Starter motor operates - release the key immediately the engine
starts (the key will automatically return to the second position).
The operation of some electrical functions will be interrupted
during engine cranking.
NOTE: On automatic models, gear selector position ‘P’ or ‘N’ must
be selected before the engine will start.
Unlocking the steering
After inserting the key, a small movement of the steering wheel
while turning the starter switch to the first position will help to
disengage the steering lock.
Locking the steering
After removing the key, turn the steering wheel towards the kerb
until the lock engages.
